I was just reading this: http://skepticwiki.org/index.php/Discordianism

Quote
Despite the light-hearted nature of the religion, it appears to have a somewhat serious goal of producing a form of enlightenment through upsetting and questioning traditional assumptions.

I read it out loud to Ludwig, who then informed me that "A religion based in being upsetting" is the most concise description of Discordianism she's ever heard.
"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

I believe there's nothing to be gained by anyone knowing what I believe. I know I have nothing to do at the moment and I believe I'll go deeper now.

I believe belief suggests doubt.

I believe contradictory statements mean more sometimes.

I believe anything's possible, not everything's probable.

I believe many people don't care what other people believe. I believe some do and I believe it depends on the person.

What I REALLY believe is I'll never fully understand belief. I believe it's an unnecessary word. Imagine's more succinct, that's what I believe.

I believe I've exhausted the word belief and will now go on to imagine.

I imagine someone has lost interest at this point.

I believe I have.

Dammit!

Not only that, strong beliefs depend on conflict. In the case of strong beliefs, one not only doubts the opposition, but actively chooses to disbelieve it and refuses to think in that way (i.e. refuses to consider the other viewpoint).

how come I can't choose more then one answer  :x
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

Indeed. The religion of marketing strategy - brought to you by Environment. Maybe the discordian philo is just to say fuck you to the pepsi challenge all together.

So, do you strongly believe that it is a mistake to hold strong beliefs?
This play, however, is an affirmation of life—not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we're living, which is so excellent once one gets one's mind and one's desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord. - John Cage

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit
