Discordia

[*Starlight*]

Omar wasn't a profit. He himself said he didn't want to jeopardize the nonprophet status of the Discordian Church of Latter Night Saints.



Indeed it would be. I think the problem would be more on christianity's side, because it's not like discordians have any actual rules or anything. In fact a discordian christian would probably be one of the most discordic discordians the church of discordia has beheld in a while.

I'm going to be a discordian christian after I read The Principia Discordia...

Well, according to most of the Christians I know I'm not a true Christian anyway because I'm not conservative enough. (I live in what I think must be the Land o' Fundamentalists.) So I could care less what they think, and it makes sense to me now that I'm thinking about it, so someone hand me 5 hot dogs and I'm in!

Woot! That's two of us.

Woot! That's two of us.

Cool! Have you already read it? Maybe we'll be the first discordian christians...

But due to the Original Snub no Discordian is to partake of a hot dog bun.

But I had never thought of that tenet in that way. Perhaps I am taking this whole thing way more seriously then I should (this is probley the case) and should go ahead and do what I want to do.

Yeah, considering the very next rule is that you shall not obey any of the rules of any religion, even discordianism.

That's what I like about all the new discordians. They constantly ask if X is alright to do, like we Saints have rule books or something hidden away somewhere or something

BTW, if you're gonna be a discordian you gotta think up a good saint name(once we've made you a saint of course. Till then you're just gonna have to settle for being a Pope). I couldn't, and so I remain Saint Splink the Uncreative.

I'm pretty sure you can go online and read it right now. On wikipedia, they probably have some links at the principia Discordia description page thing. I recommend the fourth version.

What's the difference between a saint and a pope?

Thanks... I've already found one, but I think it's the fifth version... is there a big difference between them?

It's really quite amusing and strange.

Read it, and have it. It sits on my bookshelf next to my good Bible.

You mean you don't have a rule book!? Now what am I gonna do?

Saints have to be canonized by a pope, but since everyone is a pope, you can make anyone you want a saint. There is a better description in the Principia Discordia.

Speaking of which, here is a link with page scans of the forth edition (its the Yellow version printed by Loompanics).

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a group that promises salvation, or TRIPLE your money back.

 

[psychedelicist]

I think the only differences in the editions are the covers and forewords, but I have only read the fourth version entirely. The foreword takes up about twice the pages the principia itself...

 

[rowena]

I think, but I'm not 100 percent sure that there are 2 fifth editions.

The Yellow cover Loompanic version has a fifth edition that has the addition of a copy of a western union telegraph of a bunch of "a's".

The fifth edition that most people think of when you talk about the fifth edition is the Black cover version (I don't know who printed it) has the addition of some stuff from online Discordians.

Then of course the forwards are different.

I'm reading the fifth edition with a yellow cover and two introductions. I've found a scanned version in a PDF.

Yike... who dug this up?

Oh hello Saber (wait, are you the Saber I know or new?).

So, has Discordia finally died down? Or is it still a fad?

Except for Threadia, Demon Lord of Thread Necromancy.

Anyone who raises threads from the dead is a demon worshipper. Be warned, Christians!
