MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

That's hard to parse.

Believe that "proof is truer than belief":  Check

"proof is..." is not belief:  Check.

Then you lost me.

I'm pretty sure, whatever that means, it's wrong.

I took it as "placing evidence over belief is itself belief".

Yeah, that.
