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.

You keep getting hung up in the Ain't It Awfuls, which dilutes the message. It's not so much "A person did this and this andthis." It's "A person did this."

Sometimes the more evolved parts of peoples' brains just...shut off.

And people can justify anything in their own minds. You see this with child molesters: "The the kid took his shirt off. He wanted it."

No. The person who made the lampshade was just a person. Probably not in an altered state; probably not any more shut off than you or I are right now.

Well, yes. And I see that I'm throwing out labels like "psychotic" and "child molester" for some examples, but not all of them. A lot of people who do this stuff don't have a pathology, they just manage to dehumanize whoever they're doing it to. I've read that's part of training for combat, Vietnam war-era soldiers were told things like "The Viet Cong don't cry when you kill their kids, it doesn't bother them", i.e., "Viet Cong are not really humans." It's easier to kill and mutilate an "it". Given enough bad signal, anybody could end up doing it.
