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.

Perhaps we're not using the same definition of reason. To make sure we're on the same page, http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/reason%5Bverb%5D?show=0&t=1335912370

I'm 100% sure we aren't.

You (I think): "People have to reason to make any kind of idea."

Me: "People think they are being sooo smart but really they're just dumb and stuff."

So, in that respect we are both right? Now we just have to figure out who is MORE right, and that person obviously gets life-points (a registered trademark of buffalo rock).
Well, my gynecologist committed suicide...

Please apply science and then talk.

Not sure what you are getting at, since we are (were?) arguing entirely different points.

I think the point is "let's either get on the same topic (preferably one that can be discussed rationally), or let's stop talking about this."

Ah, I see.

Well, from where I'm standing the misunderstanding is fairly obvious (we're using entirely different definitions of the word reason), and I don't disagree with Nigel's premise.

So nuff' said, I guess?

To be honest I'm more interested in how Dok's original story is going than in this weird-ass argument(s).

Which definition are you using?
