The (Not A Fucking Rant) Jihad Sermon #3: Our D.J.

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

Sermon on Eristicism 3:
Our Discordian Jihad

There has been a lot of complaints of whiplash and other types of hot air expressed by some of you about the Great Discordian Jihad Against Serious Discordians And Both For And Against the Bureaucracy. Much of it amounts to nothing but mental flatulence. And pheeew! It's starting to stink around here.

First off, the DJ is not about freedom or slavery or any of that much misunderstood and abused jazz. It's not some grand experiment to provide certain spuriously fnord-infested minds the means to achieve liberation more effectively. In fact, outside of practice and various OM activities, there is really no ideological or philosophical paradigm upon which it hangs. In fact it doesn't hang, my friends. It swings, stumbles, lurches, parties, drinks, shouts, and generally causes a ruckus when some of us choose to embody or live it out. It is a great big dynamic Golden Apple being rolled into wherever it is you think you can hide from it.

Perhaps it is about pie. Or tequila. But those are really some of the side-effects and/or stage props in this clown show we call Discordianism.

The DJ may trouble some of you who somehow got it into yourselves that we Discordians should all get along with one another. "After all," you'll ask, "aren't we all on the same side against THEM? Can't we all just get along?" Hah! Sucker! Do you believe we should? Well, good. Because we often do get along just fine. But sometimes we need to have even our own bobdamned boat rocked to keep us from having our minds clouded by all the self-important snot that threatens to clog it from time to time. The DJ is cayenne pepper soup served up for us to blow that snot right out. Whether in our minds or in your minds or in THEIR minds.

Some of you have got it into your heads that the DJ is promoting violence and strife. But that is only a reflection of the violence and strife you have inside yourselves. As I pointed out before, the DJ is not about promoting anything beyond OM within the Discordian Society and without. It has nothing to do with your silly notions. It has nothing to do with anything that has nothing to do with Eris. As to strife? Hah! Sucker! Do you really think you should be immune from confrontation and having your opposition illuminated? The DJ could be considered a metaphorical spotlight in that respect. It shines over all of your snot and because you don't like snot (hell, who does?) this makes you believe that it is us pesky Damned Things giving you grief when it is really just your inability to laugh that gives you grief. Don't blame it on the DJ.

Then again I might be lying.

In fact, just forget you even heard this.

how did you know they were both my accounts?!?!?!?!?

[Cain]

I thought everything was Discordian anyway?  After all, by enforcing the Anerisic principle among competing forces, it just ends up increasing the overall chao in the Universe....

[Horab Fibslager]

there is no increase in teh chao.

there are four states to any system, wether closed or open or in between the two.

i'm lazy so just go look it up. it's teh bit with blanced balance and unbalanced balance and all that crap.

there is also a fifth state, i discovered teh otehr day, it's calledd "i'm busy taking a dump, leave a message"
