Whilst wandering around my mother-in-law's home, I got to thinking about the nature of a "religion" that two pot-smoking teens started in a bowling alley. Is it possible not to take such a movement seriously enough? If it hadn't been going on for over 50 years, would we take it with the passion (or involvement if passion is too strong of a word) we do today?
Personally, I realized that if someone came up to me and told me all about this joke religion that "follows" Eris, which was some Greek goddess that helped start the Trojan War, I would have chuckled, but wouldn't have thought much of it.
I think about silly things, I suppose, but I was curious if anybody else thought it was possible to be not serious enough about Discordianism.
(Let's not tackle the idea of being too serious about it. I've seen that conversation play out before. Of course, this one may have, too, but I can't find it.)
