i didn't say that the BIP was, i was replying to a comment a few above mine about if i think things that stir discord are discordian. some of you people are awfully bad at paying attention to be so pedantic

things that stir discord aren't necessarily discordian, because discordianism isn't just discord, it's a "religon" i don't really judge whether people are discordian or not, i take them at their word, and make value judgements as to whether they are "bad" or "good" at whatever filter they've asked people to view them through. there are much more non-discordian things then discordian things. things that sow discord are often non-discordian, do you think the korean war was discordian? it sure brought a lot of discord. i don't think satanic verses was discordian either, and it created lots of discord. it's absurd to think anything creating discord is explicity discordian, although i do get the point it might help things a long a little bit.

heh, i specifically said in one of my posts i'm not trying to say "you're doing it wrong" yet cain accuses me of saying. being discordian is all about doing it however you want, and thinking whatever you want about whatever whenever. i'll go on forever thinking the BIP isn't a discordian work, but realizing some people feel differently about it. some people feel so differently about it they feel they need to spend hours arguing about it. are their efforts going to reshape my black iron prison? possibly, but certainly not in the way they intend.

why is it?

seriously, i think i made my case for that at the begining of the thread, in that irc log that was posted. if you disagree, that's fine, it can be discordian to you. i'll keep in mind that it's discordian to a large percentage of people who consider themselves discordians. i'm not saying i'm a "really real discordian", or that you're "doing it wrong", just that i think differently. i feel that the core principle of discordianism is enlightment through absurdity, and the BIP doesn't really convey that to me. you did read the first post right?

yanno, it's not a discordian work to me, i realize it is to many of you, and that's fine. part of being discordian is being able to decide for yourself what is discordian. i never really meant any SRS VALUE JUDGEMENTS. to me it's not great and not discordian. if it's discordian to you, great. if it helps you, great. i'll keep my own counsel. arguing at great length over what is discordian is... well, it does help to have a little common ground to work with i guess. i just now realized this irc log from a week or so was posted, and figured if you guys spent all this time discussing my ideas i oughtta weigh in. i was apparently wrong about surrealism being a word before the movement, sorry about, but when i use the word surrealism i mean more like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_humour  anyway, to all the haters and people who say i'm a fucking moron and all that, well i love you too sweet-tits.
