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.

by the way, I read Prometheus Rising about a year ago
and last week, for the first time since I've read it - found a quarter on the ground.


BOUT FUCKING TIME, RAW!

i had to modify it to a 20 eurocent coin, because we dont have quarters anymore.

I had a lot of good luck about 5 years ago and less luck the times I've tried it since them.

I wonder if quarters are being used less than before and thus making them less likely to show up on the ground?

How a book affects somebody or something is anybody's fault but the author's. I am entirely capable of reading something and disagreeing with it; even if only part of it. I mostly like Mr. Wilson because he stated many things I already agreed with before I read it. If you read something and its all new, and you believe it, then you're just gullable. Really, peoples reactions to something (whether its genuine or crap) is more or less a schmuck filter. Cause and effect. The cause is never bad, only the effect. Don't shift the blame.
I posted that so hard.

That sounds eerily close to "the ends justify the means".

Also, what 000 said.  You've got to expose yourself to new ideas, check them against your own, and compensate for any disagreements.  The cool thing about books is that one person's words can influence as many people who read it, and as many people who they talk to, by extension.  There can't be an ideosphere worth noticing without books and the role they play in our thoughts.

My point is that just because you disagree with books, doesn't mean reality does.

everyone is a fanboy, everyone has an ego (bob did)

though if he werent to make the lovecraft , and yog sogoth and such reference then what would he write?

subcultures happen

i've never done the discordian things or w/v except the stuff i did before i knew about this

i think illuminatis! is a great great story, one of the coolest. i dont think it has much to do with discordian other than being an example. i dont even know what discordianism is, i dont give a shit

Maybe more people have read Prometheus Rising and are looking for quarters, making it less likely to find them.  :sad:
