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.
All true, my comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek :-) The early Christians tended to be awfully serious fellows. That quote from Matthew, though, was popular in the California hippy scene much, much later :-D
