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.

Cain, you did all of that copying and pasting and you actually got my name right. I can never understand why so few people can spell a simple word like heliopticor.


:lulz: I don't understand it either.

QuoteTaoism in a clown costume.

I like it because it's easy to misconstrue it as meaning "it's just Daoism in different words," which, as LMNO said, is not the case. The clown costume is an integral part of it. Sort of like the original versions of the Joker: you can't take the clown makeup off, because that's how he actually looks.

It's funny, but I don't quite agree.  Naturally.

Since we began the Chao Te Ching project, I've had to re-examine what Lao Tzu was saying a lot more closely; and while some of it fits, it does so in the way just about every other introspective philosophy/religion fits into Discordia: Half way.  You just can't make a one-to-one comparison between Eris and Tao by swapping "Chaos" for "The Way" and "Order/Disorder" for "Yin/Yang".  Trust me, it was one of the first things I tried.

But, because it's funny, "Taoism in a clown costume" will most likely stick and continue giving people the wrong impression.

seem to make the beginning of a very good introduction.

Because of the order in which you quoted those, I read it as if LMNO were disagreeing with my statement, but then I checked the date stamps.

An introduction to what?

Presumably, to the Chao te Ching.
