the church of the subgenius... for the slack

[ixion]

This 'church' has been around for a couple decades now, and I've been an avid fan all that time.

I would say that this is a group that doesn't take themselves too seriously (actually written into their framework), which I find intriguing. After all, it was Einstein who said "knowledge is too important to be taken seriously."

Anyhoo, these people are a group of slack masters -- sort of a bohemian taoist offshoot. I just thought I'd toss it out there to keep things lively. :-)

2. ah, thanks, Az

I didn't know that. appreciate the link. :hi:

I like this part:


I - There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm.
II - A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.

III - A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).

IV - A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.

V - A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.

IT IS SO WRITTEN! SO BE IT. HAIL DISCORDIA! PROSECUTORS WILL BE TRANSGRESSICUTED.
