In one sentence - What does discordianism mean to you?
I removed my sentence because it sucked. I lose.
To boldy go where no asshat has gone.
ETA: Also, reducing your philosophy to one sentence is a great way to something or other.

Sorry, that was two sentences...I made it as far as "our" and flipped tabs to some machine porn.

"To create confusion while encouraging critical thinking."
Okay... first of all, this isn't a sentence. It is a sentence fragment.
Second of all, fuck you.
There, that's my one sentence.
"But Phox," you might say, "that isn't what Discordia means to you, is it?"
Well, yes it is. Discordia is all about saying "fuck you". Repeatedly, loudly, to anyone within earshot. Especially other Discordians.... but
especially "Discordians" (or as some call them "Really Real Discordians For Realness").
The fact of the matter is, it's about trolling, and arguing, and thinking, and writing, and growing, and learning, and thinking, and moving, and shaking, and tuberculosis, and teh lulz, and horrormirth.
It's about politics and pedantry, shoes, and ships, and sealing wax. Cabbages and kings!
All the things you think you know are true, but all the things you know are false.
It's about the Weird.
It's about making music and pranking the establishment (At the same time, of course).
It's about picking fights with ECH for no reason, stealing Cram's mustache, and kicking TGRR's corpse when it starts to stink.
It's about eating oranges until someone dies.
It's about meese and mass and molecules.
It's about Dimo walking around with no shirt, making everyone jealous.
It's about Trip learning what it means to be American
TM.
It's about mocking RAW and calling David Icke a ninny.
It's about going from a little girl with too much free time to a little girl with too much free time AND several colleges worth of smarts.
And the most important thing: Also, fuck you, Kai.
Discordianism is the One Sentence to Rule Them All!!!
it's just this thing, man
Per ECH:
Discordianism is Militant Agnosticism.
Discordianism: butts butts butts for my lady
Discordia will keep happening whether you want it to, or not.
Discordia doesn't stop just because you did.
:notnice:
Lmno and phox have it. Thread over.
Discordia iz notta plugged in to zee sokit!
I love all of those.

Discordianism rejects your rules.
And substitutes them for its own.
"a rather irritating form of hermetic terrorism"
"taoism in a clown suit"

and, occasionally, sphincters...
"Goddammit, Bobby, stop yanking my pigtails!"
It's dildoes.
Discordianism: The next person to say, "Everything happens for a reason" gets stabbed in the neck!
Inspired by a license plate I saw today:
Discordianism: LOL GOD!
Don't remember off the top of my head who said it, but I've always liked "It's both an elaborate joke disguised as a religion and a religion disguised as an elaborate joke."
If you want to sum up discordianism in one sentence it would be that, think for yourself schmuck, or -my favorite- go to the forums on pd.com sign up and find out for yourself schmuck.
Why does my toilet smell so orangy?
PDCOM: The highlight of our day is contests involving stuffing shit in our mouths.
Discordianism is a terrible religion, just terrible.
"Worse than useless; it's so bad, it requires thought."
We'll teach you what to think for yourself.
Realising that you can't turn them off and on again even if you push really hard.
there is confusion maybe, I haven't quite... This was as for as I am going to get, so there
Discordianism: explaining the absurd with the help of the more absurd.
Each understand Discordianism differently.
Discordianism is for people tired of all other religions.

Discordianism seeks out the convenient bits from every faith to create a religion that is uniquely American -expensive, promiscuous, and entirely meaningless.

The "About the Author" blurb in Zen Without Zen Masters describes the Discordian society like this:
The Discordian Society was a San Francisco-based dadaist, aesthetic-theological soceity whose stock in trade was esoteric satire.
