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.

In the second paragraph, I'm saying that if we choose to believe in god, we then develop an idea about it.  We never know god, only our ideas about god.  and those ideas develop according to what we're taught, or even what we reject. 
So what should we do about it in the here and now?

True, but I'm genuinely curious which stream matthewsquires is trying to lead this horse to.

I gladly admit that you would know better than I.  It just seemed he was going down the "thing-in-itself" route.
