So, what's the difference?
Is there any difference between the Discordian Society and the Church of the SubGenius?
The real reason I ask this is because I might be buying a mail carrier with Bob Dobbs's face on it and I want to know if I will be representing the Discordian Society correctly.
:sad:
Although they deny it bitterly, CotS is an offshoot of Discordia, so yeah.
*whispers* I see new people :scared:

This is the true symbol of Discordians.

Rev Crawford proves that Slack exists...no turning back now....yep, all sewn up and shown with a broom...
The biggest difference is probably that Discordianism is open/free, while CoS is proprietary.

Just make sure you give your mail carrier a steady diet and take him out for walks.

That is a very good point, and also part of the point of the concept was that CotS is a for-profit doomsday cult. Great concept, well-executed IMO. Pure genius as a piece of art.

If we all say no will you not buy it?
If so, why the fuck do you care about what a few anonymous spags from the internet think?

The Church of the Subgenius is dominated by tragic old hipsters with pee stained dentures.

This.
Basically you HAVE to make two choices. Which crowd to hang out with, and who to give money ($30) to. In order to get the best of both worlds, I suggest you go hang out with the Subgenii, and give us the $30.
Of course, there has been a bit of inflation since the 80s, so based upon my calculations, the total would be in the ballpark of $23,000. You can write the check out to Rev. What's-His-Name Charitable Industries and I'll make sure it gets to the appropriate coiffers. :D
You could, of course, send ME $30 and I'll grant you honorary citizenship in the Sovereign Principality of Kaousuu.
If you carry around a mail carrier with a great big Dobbshead printed on, and it confuses people why you would carry around such a silly/slightly creepy-looking thing around and what it could mean, then I think some Discordians would agree that you are representing them just fine.
