News:
TESTEMONAIL: Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Apple Talk / Re: Introductions, part V: Don't Say We Never Warned You.

Awhile back I googled, "I don't believe in anything". I don't know what I expected but I found a picture of a kindly looking old man that said, "I don't believe anything. Most people, even the educated, think that everybody must believe something or other, that if one is not a theist, one must be a dogmatic atheist, and if one does not think Capitalism is perfect, one must believe fervently in Socialism, and if one does not have blind faith in X, one must alternatively have blind faith in not-X or the reverse of X. My own opinion is that belief is the death of intelligence." I saved that picture and tucked it away in my hard drive.
I have been volunteering with the so called grassroots organization called the Green Party. I say so called because it is anything but grassroots, on the political spectrum it leans hard left. They fight things that are just impossible at this point in time. A big part of our economy here is our military base and the technology companies they employ; as much as I do not like it or agree with it that is the reality of the city I live in.
Both sides complain that there are apathetic people that do not fight for their rights, but what they are really saying is that there are a lot of people that we can convince to become as dogmatic as we are if only they were stupid enough to believe we have all the answers. Both sides believe they have the answers to everything but the reality is either one getting exactly what they wanted would be the end of our species.
I have come to the belief that as animals, our language and what we deem as consciousness is simply the result of our most primitive but beneficial tool, language. As such, we are literally fighting and killing each other over noises because we are too egotistical as a species to really admit what our language actually is.
I googled the name of that man trying to find more like minded people. Robert Anton Wilson. I found the Principia Discordia, read it, found your forums, and ended up posting here.
I like to live my life by an Alan Watts quote, "I am always sincere, but never serious".
Anyway I don't want to write a essay about how I got here so I figure this will be enough. Hello everyone!
