TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I completely failed to get the point the PD was making, and took it at mostly face value, as a piece of absurdism and/or a particularly psychotic branch of paganism....

Ironically, it was apparently Discordian co-creator Kerry Thornley who coined the term paganism, at least as it's used today.

Seriously? Can you give a source on that? Because I find that fascinating.
Unless stated otherwise, feel free to copy or reproduce any text I post anywhere and any way you like. I will never throw a hissy-fit over it, promise.

He invented the term Neo-Paganism, according to Maraget Adler (sp?) in Drawing the Moon, one of the primary sources on Pagan religions in America.

Hopefully I won't get flamed for posting another link, but as you asked...

http://www.amazon.com/Prankster-Conspiracy-Thornley-Inspired-Counterculture/dp/193104466X says 'He coined the term "paganism" to describe various nature religions.'  You can buy Thornley's excellent book (which tells more about the background of Discordianism than any book I know of) there, or through some Discordian website or other I won't link to else I'll get flamed.
