quote:Quote from the Principia Discordia:

A SERMON ON ETHICS AND LOVE

One day Mal-2 asked the messenger spirit Saint Gulik to approach the Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice said YES?

"O! Eris! Blessed Mother of Man! Queen of Chaos! Daughter of Discord! Concubine of Confusion! O! Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a heavy burden from my heart!"

WHAT BOTHERS YOU, MAL? YOU DON'T SOUND WELL.

"I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain. Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people, mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe."

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?

"But nobody wants it! Everybody hates it."

OH. WELL, THEN STOP.

At which moment She turned herself into an aspirin commercial and left The Polyfather stranded alone with his species.

Doesn't Eris make a good point? When I started reading the principia discordia I thought I'd get a few good laughs out of it, which I did, but it has a lot of bright spots. Damn good read. You can find the book online here:

classic

WAIT WAIT WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED MY OTHER FAVORITE, I THINK THIS WAS IN APOCRYPHA DISCORDIA THOUGH--



something like this-

crowley led us down a crowley hallway filled with crowley statues and crowley altars, and at the end you find the crowley god youve been searching for the whole time is yourself.



but by then youve bought all his books!



i love crowley, but this is so true. it taught me that just because its a minority religion, its still organized, and you have to think for yourself, even if you dont follow christianity.



MINORITY IS NOT INDIVIDUALITY!

if any discordians want apocrypha discordia just AIM me at (serAph ArAl)
