The Food Blessing
Almighty Eris Discordia, we thank Thee for this
meal. But, seriously, Goddess, what about the
ten people somewhere in the world who died
of starvation since this prayer began? Seven
of them were children under five. What kind of
Creation are you running here anyway? Could
you please get your shit a little more together?
Amen.

Movement is a good thing. It keeps things ebbing and flowing as
they are supposed to. No movement, stagnation, only brings a lot
of pain and misery in the long run. Not to mention, a horrible case
of fungus that is very difficult to get rid of. As Publilius Syrus once
said, "A rolling stone gathers no moss." -Confused Dish

NONSENSE AS SALVATION
The human race will begin solving it's problems on the day that it
ceases taking itself so seriously.
To that end, POEE proposes the countergame of NONSENSE AS
SALVATION. Salvation from an ugly and barbarous existence that
is the result of taking order so seriously and so seriously fearing
contrary orders and disorder, that GAMES are taken as more
important than LIFE; rather than taking LIFE AS THE ART OF
PLAYING GAMES.
To this end, we propose that man develop his innate love for
disorder, and play with The Goddess Eris. And know that it is a
joyful play, and that thereby CAN BE REVOKED THE CURSE OF
GREYFACE.
If you can master nonsense as well as you have already learned
to master sense, then each will expose the other for what it is:
absurdity. From that moment of illumination, a man begins to be
free regardless of his surroundings. He becomes free to play
order games and change them at will. He becomes free to play
disorder games just for the hell of it. He becomes free to play
neither or both. And as the master of his own games, he plays
without fear, and therefore without frustration, and therefore
with good will in his soul and love in his being.
And when men become free then mankind will be free.
May you be free of The Curse of Greyface.
May the Goddess put twinkles in your eyes.
May you have the knowledge of a sage,
and the wisdom of a child.
Hail Eris.

Brevity is the soul of wit
Discordianism
The veneration of Eris, also known as Discordia; widely popular
among hackers. Discordianism was popularised by Robert Shea
and Robert Anton Wilson's novel "Illuminatus!" as a sort of self-
subverting Dada-Zen for Westerners - it should on no account be
taken seriously but is far more serious than most jokes. Consider,
for example, the Fifth Commandment of the Pentabarf,
from "Principia Discordia": "A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing
What he Reads." Discordianism is usually connected with an
elaborate conspiracy theory/joke involving millennia-long warfare
between the anarcho-surrealist partisans of Eris and a
malevolent, authoritarian secret society called the Illuminati.

Well Discordianism is listed in a religious movements site so i guess its actually an oficial religion of sorts.
Hail Eris!

Eat hot dogs and be free.
Neutrino_Albatross: I love what that link says at the bottom of the page. I wonder if they will ever find that guy. As far as Discordianism being an official religion. Why not? I mean if something like $cientology can exist as official why not Discordianism? Taking that line of thinking a little further - if a person MUST choose a religion to be affiliated with Discordianism is, in my opinion, waaayyy cooler than $cientology in just about every aspect. Me? I don't do religion. Like bad food it gives me indigestion. However, I do find the menu to be a very interesting read.
fadingCaptain: I am not really a fan of hot dogs for the most part, a corn dog once in awhile but that is about it. But that's just me, if you see hot dogs as a path to your freedom, I say go for it! If you don't mind my asking, do you belong to any hot dog churches? If so, do you guys consider things like ketchup, mustard, and relish scared?

evilpoet,
i am simply trying to free these poor souls' minds.
Hot dogs buns are banned by one of the Discordian commandments. These people do not realize the level of brainwashing that has occurred.
I say we eat hot dogs (buns and all) with mustard, ketchup, relish, chili...whatever! Even onions!
I also love corn dogs..even moreso than hot dogs. Lets start a corn dog church. We can call it CORN DOG CHURCH.

I understand fadingCaptain, I really do. Everyone must do what
they see as right. But imo you can't force anything on anyone -
each must find thier own way.
As I said before, I do not do religion (can't stand church of any
kind) but if you want to start a church and call it CORN DOG
CHURCH again, I say got for it. The Center for Disease Control
might take issue with you if you decide to use just the intials
CDC so you might want to take that into consideration.
On that note, I must bid you farewell for now.

well...It's a shot
I walked into a wall just to see what was behind it.
I found alot of pain and a little bit of knowledge.
I threwup in a bowl which later swallowed all I gave.
I think it ended up underneath beside my dead dogs grave.
I took a picture of the sun
I listened to the camera click
I later had the film developed
I think I must be sick
But then again I think
that action has a cause
why won't my life grow bigger
Oh...the friggin movie's paused
