I don't worship Eris.  She died with her people millenia ago, and to revive her smacks of neo-paganism (ugh).  But the principle is the same.  God shouldn't be trusted to do what you want, just because you've been good.  That leads to a dependence, which leads to expectations, which leads to the inevitable, "Why!!!" when things go wrong.  The real why is, God might not even exist, and if He* does, you'd better not get his attention, cause he's just as likely to kick you in the ass as to pat you on the head and give you a lolly.  
I'm so sick of these people who depend on their God to do all their thinking for them.  They've got a Bible (or whatever) quote for everything, an aphorism to apply to each situation, and a treachant mindset like a groove in titanium steel.  Righteousness replaces thinking.  Why bother thinking for themselves when they've had people to do it for them for thousands of years?  
But enough complaining.  After all, God will sort them out in the end.  If there is a god.  Atheism is boring, though, so I might as well as believe in something.

I proclaim myself the rabid badger of God.  Guard your ankles well.









*Does gender apply to deities?  "God" and "He" are shorter to type than "Goddess" and "She", plus I don't want any of you getting the wrong idea.  I guess I could say It.  Bah.

I welcome the rabid badger of God, and offer my ankles willingly.


Plus, she's cute as hell, which never hurts (unless you ask nicely).

excelent peice kem. may i put this inteh book of ripoff?

Eris wasn't revived,because chaos never died.  tMal-2 and Omar did update her though. The taoists where discordians,just under a different name.Eris is the "Mysterious Woman of the Valley"written about in the "Tao Te ChingThey had something like taoism in mind,rather then just the usual neo-pagan revivalism.How you veiw the Supreme Multiversal Oneness Is between you and the Supreme Multiversal Oneness.I have aleays had a very intense love affair with Eris.I can match any xtian in having the" fire inside".

Thanks, Horab.  God wouldn't leave me alone last night till I wrote this shit down.

It's all about names, Verthaine.  To me, Eris is Eris, Greek Goddes of Chaos, She what started the Trojan War.  And since neo-pagans are my divine enemies, I won't do anything that faintly resembles their pathetic whinings.  I think the Jews had it right, God's pretty damn inexpressible and shouldn't be named.  Not that it stops me from blaspheming all the time, God damn it.

"God damn it" seems to be more of a request than a blaspheme...

Taking God's name in vain?  Calling upon Him for totally useless shit?  Attracting His attention when you don't really want it?  Sounds pretty blasphemous to me.

Ok then.


If the Badger speaks, the Badger speaks wisdom.

A good god would always have time for his or her subjects.  If a god is truly omnipotent then he or she should always have plenty of time for eveything.

Assuming you are wasting a god's time is to underestimate their powers.

At least, that's how I see it.

Didn't I just say God shouldn't be trusted?  Sure, I can pray to Him, if I want to risk getting shouted at.  Or worse.  God should be a last resort, not a means to an end.

HOLY SHIT!! A TALKING BADGER!!!

RRRAGGH, I SNACK UPON YOUR TOES.

hmm, suddenyl reminded of a certain inn located in the illian of wheel of time books.

...easing the badger.

maybe it was a portent. :mrgreen:

i say god damnit, because being wise, i know nto to call unwanted attention tomyself from She Who smacked down heathen troy.

Well, hell.  I never should have opened my big mouth.  I have been given two slaps upside the head in the space of half an hour...

I think I'd worry more about the fact that they keep slaves.

heh, awesome

Just some friendly advice.Not directed to anyone in partic.

When developing the relationship between ERIS and YOU,be very careful in choosing what personality of ERIS you want to interact with.If you Give ERIS the Personality of a Major league foul-tempered vendictive cuntrag(sorta like YHWH),don't be angry when she behaves accordingly

Quote from: Rabid Badger of GodWha...?

I thought you were in Beloit

I was, but the last thing I'm going to think about in any situation is some stupid mascot of some stupid sports team.

I dinna say it was a conscious decision :twisted:

I shall hamstring you with my holy wrath!

you should go to MAry's Place down in Rockford this weekend...Cozmic Haze is playing and they are a good band to go see..admission is prolly only 3 bucks too

Okay...it's only a couple thousand miles away.

Quote from: Rabid Badger of GodI don't worship Eris.  She died with her people millenia ago, and to revive her smacks of neo-paganism (ugh).

Neo-Paganism is worshipping Pagan gods as a reaction against Christianity. I worship Pagan gods because they are real

While deities and magic are a crucial part of my life, relying on them for everything is utterly stupid. You can't trust most deities as far as you can throw them. Even the straight-acting ones like Zeus and Odin and YHWH and Quexlcoatl usually have an agenda. The human brain is wired towards superstition and idealism and creating non-existent patterns and Gods and rituals to help them get through drudgery. It's best to accept this and use it to your advantage, but just because flowers grow from beautiful bullshit, doesn't mean you should cover yourself in so much bullshit that you can't see the sky.

Xian literalists don't believe that there is one angry bearded God who lives in the sky with bird people in a golden palace who either lets people live with him or tosses them into a lake of fire inhabited by goat people, and that the King James Bible is the literal word of this God because they are fools, they do it because in their reality, that is what's real. And people like Nietzsche, Hegel, Marx, Engels, and Bakunin didn't reject everything but the material world and proclaim God to be dead because they were cranks, but because in their reality, that is what was real. (Of course, in my reality, they are fools and cranks, but no more foolish or cranky than me)

QuoteBut enough complaining.  After all, God will sort them out in the end.  If there is a god.  Atheism is boring, though, so I might as well as believe in something.

Now that, I agree with. Atheism and Monotheism both seem pretty dull to me. I try to make my reality as exciting as possible.

Yeah, that's what works for me. I don't even stick to one pantheon, though my favorites are the greek bunch and the norse lot. :)

There is but one True Multiversal Source,and that is Chaos.Chaos is refered to as Eris or Discordia by risian/Discordians. She is refered to by other names by beings al over the multiverse according to their local customs.
All other Gods and Goddesses are only aspects of Chaos,Which we call Eris. They only in to places: in a state of potentia(within the realm of possibilities,] and in the mind of the believer. Chaos is the only thing that is True. Everything is an apsect of Chaos.
Zeus couldn't blow his nose without Eris's permission.
Nor can any of the so called  other gods and goddessess

Oh, stop lecturing.

RBOG,I don't remember putting a blaster to your head and forcing you to read what I wrote.I must have been under the mistaken notion that anyone here has the right to to write about how they view the Eris,not Just Rabid Badgers.
I also noticed you didn't refute anything I wrote.You didn't disagree withyu anything.You just basically told me to "SHUT THE FUCK UP"(just a little more politely and with less caps).

Now,I can take the middle road and only post safe,harmless drivel,you know,the type of drivel that won't challenge yous mind,spirit,or belief system,as per your instructions.
Or I can take the low road and say:

Now to C_S_F.
Thank you bro.If what I post is the TRUTH ,then I hope poeple will learn.If I am wrong,I hope people will correct me.

::ponders the name of the only black-owned creole restaurant in New Orleans::

if I am ever in Nawlins again I will definitely pay a visit! WHats the name?

I suppose we'll have to start guessing...

Is it Oliviers?

Is Oliviers in the French Quarter? Because he said French Quarter, not
New Orleans. I imagine there are a wee bit of creole restaurants in
NO that are not in the FQ.

Just sayin'

My first two Google hits for "french quarter creole restaurant" were Tujague's and Olivier's.  Have fun. :)

Wow, hello Verthaine.  How about taking the giant stick out of your ass?  Just because what you say is true doesn't mean you have to babble endlessly about it.  Now, I am going to take the high road and pretend you didn't just have an ego-spasm about a flippant remark.  Thank you, have a good day.

Hold up missy,you were the one who told me to shut up initially,so how is it  I'm the one who has a stick up his ass?Why am I wrong for defending myself.
Apparently it's all right for you to babble,but it's wrong for anyone else to?
Don't tell me that you believe that only your opinions matter,and no one elses.
Flippant remark or not,I don't appreciate anyone telling me I can't post my opinions( all my life I had to battle just to be heard.),I do not appreciate being to to "stop lecturing". This is a public forum,so I have just as much right to"lecture" as anyone else.Disagree with me if you must,correct me if need be,but never tell me to shut up.If you don't like what I or anyone has to say(write) on this forum,don't read it.

Have a nice day.
