There is, well, y'know, early Christianity... :-)
Matthew 6:25-27:
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
and Matthew 6:34:
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Jesus and the early Christians were all about proselytising, sacrifice, and martyrdom. The Dude is about none of those things. He doesn't try and persuade others to become Dude-like, and he doesn't stand up for what he believes in - if he believes in anything. The Dude isn't a preacher, he's a bowler. He's all about going with the flow, in his own little way.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
