Uncle Jake's Guide to Discordianism

Are you sick of religious people going on and on all the time about how you need to do things like send them money, obey their holy books, send them more money and convert others to sending them money in obedience of their holy books?

Are you sick of trying to make sense of them, or yourself, or anything at all?

Yeah, I was too. But, that was all before I found my self-esteem. This article has nothing to do with that.

Rather, this article has everything to do with Discordianism, and while you may be wondering if that's even a word (it is), you should more appropriately be wondering if I'm going to try to sell you something (I'm not).

Why? Religious people are like that. They always want to sell you something. I don't know all of why; they apparently think their god's love costs 19.95 or requires your cult-slave devotion to their idea of what the truth is this year.

Well, you can buy that if you like, or you can save your money (and your dignity) and read on! I promise it won't hurt (much).

Here, I present to you the definition of Discordianism that I shamelessly swiped off of Wikipedia, which someone shamelessly swiped out of the Discordian text "Principia Discordia", thus leaving me no choice but to quote the quoting quoters.

---What it is (maybe)--

Discordianism is a modern, chaos-centered religion founded circa 1958-1959 by Malaclypse the Younger with the publication of its principal text, the Principia Discordia. It is widely regarded as a parody religion,[1][2][3][4] and has been called "Zen for roundeyes", based on similarities with absurdist interpretations of the Rinzai school. Discordianism recognizes chaos, discord, and dissent as valid and desirable qualities, in contrast with most religions, which idealize harmony and order. The religion is largely composed of whimsical and absurd ideas, though many adherents claim there is a deeper meaning to their flippant attitude. Eris is the matron deity of the religion.[5]
