Title: Discordianism Sucks
Post by: ElSJaako on May 12, 2013, 04:21:34 PM

Religion has tried to answer these questions, and more, with various levels of success for a long time now. Discordianism has been around for 55 years. Maybe we should have a look to see how well it's done.

Discordianism answers all of the above questions. Usually with "Fuck it. Let's go have some fun". That could be seen as a problem.

If ignoring the important questions in life is my sin, Discordianism is my enabler. Instead of thinking about the existence of god, I think "If god does exist, he's probably a crazy woman, And his name is Eris". Instead of worrying about my health, I eat hot dogs wrapped in pancakes. My body is a temple, but I hate churches. Instead of caring about trash disposal, I tell my neighbors playing Sink is a religious right.

So why am I still a Discordian? It has it upsides. It lets me feel more open-minded than an atheist without any real consequences. It lets me make awkward moments even more so by using that time to give out pope cards. And I really like the book.

In the end, all I can do is assume that ignoring the important questions in life is not a sin, and I should go have some fun. After all, if they were actually important I'm sure something would go wrong if I didn't think about them.
