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.

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
