The Five Pillars of Discordia

[Placid Dingo]

000, it sounds similar to Wilson's 'Cosmic Schmuck'.

Also, I added content to my failure of a previous post.

[Adios]

Nothing else "original sin" was ever going to turn out to be was there?
There only ever is really one of "THOSE FUCKING APPLES"  (And it was that one I alluded to in my post).

The real give away is the presence of a crazy or naked chick on these occasions.. . .  "Hi, Adam, Listen Darling, I've been talking to this Snake I met, and, . . . . . . .!"

Who else was that ever going to be?

Biggest flaw in the bible, original sin theory.

Isn't the conventional interpratation that Knowledge of sin was the real issue?

God - Be fruitful, go forth and multiply.

God - You did WHAT??? WHORE!!!!

God - GTFO!

EDIT: Apparently i forgot to add content.

Itsn't the conventional interpretation that KNOWLEDGE was really the original sin?

In the revisionist version after the flaw was acknowledged. For decades it was taught that Eve, the christian mother of all mankind ( except for wherever Cain found his wife) was a whore.

The real story is that it was Eris, not Eve, and JHVHGod was really butthurt about it, but he couldn't acknowledge that a Chick Goddess had pranked his whole creation into one big wanky slop pot, so he had to patsy the Serpent into taking the rap. That's why he was made to crawl on his belly as a "punishment". (Not much of one, really, seeing as he crawled on his fuckin' belly anyway!)
I mean, imagine, Eris tricking Jehovah into letting her be the Mother of his new monkeys! No wonder a third of his Seraphim went rebel on his arse, and tried to bitchslap him out of Heaven!

Where can I find details on this?  I feel a troll coming on.

[Subtract Eight!]

The details, this has been hanging above the beds of many a sleepless fruitless scholarly dude for many millennia to come. And go. It's easily the paris hilton of damnable myths, or the fruit of the loom we shall say.

[Idiot]

1. Fluff
2. Fluffy
3. Shaggy, like carpet
3. you know that feeling when you run your hands up and down something that's just really really fluffy, and you're like, fuck, that is really, really, really fluffy. we've all been there.
4. Flufflucent
5. High Tea

I'm glad to see this OP.  This sort of noise was noticeably absent on my last pilgrimage.

[Payne]

What a waste of fucking time this was.

I don't think so. There towards the end it got off track but there is a hell of a lot of meat in there.

It's all based on a flawed premise, though.

And any flawed premise extended to its logical conclusion is by definition useless.

What's the flawed premise?

That Discordians are different from other humans.

The concepts of The Five Pillars appear to me to be equally applicable to a community of bog standard humans as to one of fully posable bipeds.

Where I see "gaps" (if I may call them that in this construction) is in the certain amount of give and take between members of a community who are not particularly friendly to each other.

We have the bite of the Pillar of Discord, but I think all of us who have been here a while know that sometimes it's best not to say anything. Not as a matter of posting etiquette but as a matter of communal well being.

The Pillar of Fluff is certainly one that encourages some give and take, but it doesn't address antipathy or hostility among given individuals.

The Pillar of Rants seems not to address this issue at all, but on reflection seems to deal with it better than any other. It tells you to take your Face^TM off, and let your war face all hang out everywhere, but to suck it up if no one cares. And it can be applied both to the ranter and the dissenter(s).

The Fourth Pillar (communal projects) appears to take the inverse approach to the previous one: Instead of The One approaching the many with a thematic idea, you have The Many approaching the one with myriad ideas. It kinda works, but not as well as Pillar Three because it addresses itself to a broader concept of what we all should look to as a group rather than individually.

Finally, the Fifth Pillar follows in the same mode as the second.

Basically, what I am concluding here is that the reason why this doesn't appear to work as it should is not because we aren't different enough from Bog Standard Humans, but because we at PD appear to have lost the Art of The Rant and The Art of The Brag and how to respond to them. It's not about content or lack of it, it's not about friendship or lack of it, it's not about any of these things.

(I stress here that I do fully endorse the full model of the Five Pillars)

It's about how we carry ourselves and how we scream about it.
