So, what's the difference?
Is there any difference between the Discordian Society and the Church of the SubGenius?
The real reason I ask this is because I might be buying a mail carrier with Bob Dobbs's face on it and I want to know if I will be representing the Discordian Society correctly.

Although they deny it bitterly, CotS is an offshoot of Discordia, so yeah.

The biggest difference is probably that Discordianism is open/free, while CoS is proprietary.
Formerly something else...

Just make sure you give your mail carrier a steady diet and take him out for walks.

That is a very good point, and also part of the point of the concept was that CotS is a for-profit doomsday cult. Great concept, well-executed IMO. Pure genius as a piece of art.

Only if it costs 30 dollars.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Merely by being alive, you make everyone just a little more miserable
