Discordia, this weird neophilic irreligion, this bastard daughter of agnosticism and paganism and satire and flax, only ends in delerium and strife. If anything, this book should stand as a sign post saying "<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">DANGER</ins>". It's an old crone, poised at the edge of Madness and Nothingness, crying "Go away! This place is cursed! Cursed I tell you, ''beware!''" So turn back now<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">. Save </ins>yourself from <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">this </ins>postmodern nightmare<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">: </ins>the ramblings of a nonexistent society which thrives in a nonexistent place in the umbra of the 21st century. THROW OUT your heretical humor and remove that troublemaker tongue from your cheek. Don't you know that people worked really hard to create this straightjacket civilization? <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">There's centuries of work poured into these illusions. </ins>Don't you know that the world is cold and and you've gotta steel yourself to meet it? <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Armor </ins>your heart with ice and nothing will harm you <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">ever again</ins>.

And maybe you'll see some of '''your''' parts reflected in there too. And then you'll be screwed because the Patriarch Deity is out to get those crazy people that are turning everything on its head and not buying into his system. If you see him, don't tell Zeus that I'm the one who screwed up the olive trees by roasting hot dogs on the branches.
