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.

Oops... Sorry, that was kind of just the last thing I heard, and I tend to spout things off when I really shouldn't.  :oops:

what if I'm an atheist that doesn't believe in belief systems either?

In fact, the US has religious belief levels more in common with certain theocracies than most other industrial democracies.  I have no doubt if it wasn't for inter-Christian factionalism, it probably would be a theocracy by now, or at very least a theocratic constitutional republic a la Iran.
This is what scares the hell out of me. I know that many people around me would change our government into a theocracy if it wasn't for that pesky First Amendment.

Then again, that First Amendment might have been what got us here in the first place. Complete freedom of religion means that we have no quick and easy way of moderating the weirdos. Just look at all of the freaky religions that popped up during The Great Awakenings. We couldn't do anything about the Apocalyptic Millerites or the Later-Day Saints' sex cult. We had to pretty much let them do whatever they wanted to (until the Mormons started shooting Indians). If we had an official church the country might have been more moderate, like the Anglicans.

Or the Baptists could have gotten in control anyways and we'd be executing homosexuals just like Iran.
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

People who argue over definitions like theist, atheist and agnostic are silly.

Of course, it allows me to co-opt whichever of these definitions I want at will whenever I wish and I am thankful for that. :)
