BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

If you were going to make a flag for the Earth, it should have at least two starving babies, and a 13 year old boy enlisted as a soldier.

Quote from: T'ai Kungno, seriously.

that's my take on it, anyway.

I don't think any of us (or anyone else, for that matter) is a "real" discordian.

we're not capable of it. it goes against human nature to be like that all the time. at best, we're blessed with the ability to occasionally see the world from that perspective, but the only people who see it like that all the time are generally locked up for being criminally insane.

whatever the discordian version of "sunday christians" is, that's what we are.

personally, I'm OK with that.

Well, I suppose it comes down to what the end purpose of Discordianism is, I suppose.

For me, it boils down to self-imposed reality grids, the Eristic and Aneristic Illusions, the elevation of the Creative over the Destructive, Laughter, and that we are all Free.

And just like even Johnny Cash couldn't follow Christ's teaching all the time, none of us can always be awake, watching out for hidden Illusions and jumped conclusions.

But we tend to be more aware of them.  And we often know better than to take our convictions too seriously.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Let's not start that argument, again.

Is light a wave or a collection of particles?  Depends how you look at it, right?

I'll concede the point.

probably would have been more accurate to say that they're two different aspects of the same thing.

Please note the phrase fragment "for me".

That is to say, that's what I call it.

I'm fairly certain you call it something else.


Not that I'm bickering or arguing.  Just trying to clarify.

Makes sense...



PS (thread rescue) - even with GitMo's current absence, I still am not convinced he's in jail.
