Rev Roger: The Heresies, Chapter 5: Real Discordians.

[Cain]

by that logic, Dick Cheney, Hitler, Rupert Murdoch, and Martha Stewart could all be discordians.

despite the fact that, you know, they live to impose order on the world.

beat me to it.  But then again, I've already said my piece on the subject a while ago.

They're not Discordians because I doubt any of them ever heard the word "Discordian" and if they did, they wouldn't call themselves Discordian.

A Discordian is anyone who calls themselves a Discordian, in my opinion. You can be a Discordian and cool, and you can be a Discordian and a faggot. It doesn't mean you're a fake Discordian, it just means you're a faggot. (Nothing is "real")

Unless you're using the term "Discordian" to mean "enlightened" or "Discordian saint". That's a different story. Most of us probably wouldn't make it onto the list, because we're all faggots.

[East Coast Hustle]

sorry, calling yourself a discordian does not make you a discordian any more than calling yourself a midget hooker makes you a midget hooker.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Discordianism is whatever the fuckhell you want it to be

"Martha Stewart Discordianism"?

If that's true, Fonz, then Discordianism is utterly worthless.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

The Principia Discordia says that all claims to truth are right, wrong, meaningless, right and wrong, right and meaningless, wrong and meaningless, and right and wrong and meaningless. That sounds like "Discordian is whatever the fuckhell you want it to be" to me.

If you don't buy into the Principia Discordia, but still call yourself a Discordian, that seems even more like it.

The PD is utter rot.  The only thing it gave Discordianism is the name.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

You just kinda blew right past the middle of the piece, didn't you?

"Martha Stewart Discordianism"?

It's good thing.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

"Martha Stewart Discordianism"?

It's good thing.

Why do yuo hate Fat City?

They can be considered Eristic Avatars however, since they did cause a lot of chaos unwittingly by their attempts to impose order. Just saying.

[East Coast Hustle]

oh, I know...but those are two separate things...I believe somebody already covered it, but you can be a Discordian Saint without being a discordian.

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

Now just what did Martha Stewart really do to include her in a list with the others? She really doesn't fuck up much shit.

[Cain]

I believe she was a "useful example"

you only say that becuase she doesn't own a summer home in your neck of the woods. she's at least as nasty and evil as everyone else on that list, she just weilds her influence in spheres other than the political.

[Irreverend Hugh, KSC]

True that.

I am sure she is a nasty prat.

Maybe the Repubs are gearing her up to be the 2012 president.

Maybe it's time to move to New Zealand. It's about as far from Amurricuh as I can think.

[East Coast Hustle]

she's a flat-out cunt, and that's a word I use VERY sparingly when talking about people.

as for NZ, I think if I knew anyone there I might be there already, but when I bail out I'm going to finally put my schooling to use and go to Russia where I have friends and a reasonable grasp of the language.
