Age Old Question Answered

I don't think discordianism is a religion, i would say that is a trick, like zen.

[P3nT4gR4m]

All religions are a trick.

[Cramulus]

I think debating whether Discordia is a religion or a joke
is totally missing the point

it's like asking if the Daily Show is serious.

[tyrannosaurus vex]

Semantics is never missing the point.

It wasn't about actually debating whether Discordianism is a really, real religion or just a bad joke.

It is about debating both sides of an issue, any issue. This one seemed to present itself in an opportune way. If one holds fast to the philosophy that all things are in some way true and in some way false, then that same person should be able to deftly debate both sides of a fence, only choosing to actually believe one way or the other when there is some value to be gained from it.

What value is there to be had from BELIEVING that Discordianism is or is not a ___________ ?
