Ok, I didn't really read it carefully, because: a) I am lazy b) I am at work now. Both of these are good excuses, and I shall use them now. So my evaluation of Discordia is one word, Apostasy! Why is this an apostasy? Because: a) It is Easter Sunday. b) It is fun to yell out the word, Apostasy!
I did like Robert Anton Wilson's writings, in previous years, and it's good to see that his work is remembered. -----Original Message----- From: Telmo Menezes <[email protected]> To: everything-list <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Apr 20, 2014 9:36 am Subject: Re: cannabis, cancer and mechanism, and climate. Since the list is in a proselytizing mood -- I guess it's appropriate for the season -- I leave you my favourite religious book. "Principia Discordia" or "How I found Goddess and What I did to Her when I found Her" http://www.principiadiscordia.com/downloads/Principia%20Discordia.pdf (the good stuff starts on page 28) The good news is that, in Discordianism, we are all Popes. Hail Eris! Telmo.

The one that you truly believe in, based upon all the study and contemplation you can put in. Not bet upon any arbitrarily, rather search and find faith. To me, god is a non-answer. Where did god come from? Good question. Apparently in comp God might have a Mother, and it has to be a Goddess, but take this with the usual amount of grain salts :) But God, nor his Mother, should ever be considered as an answer. As answer that is the usual authoritative "don't ask, don't search" attitude, i.e. the God of the gap, maintained by those who want you to believe in their view on reality, and prevent you to search and question them. God is not an answer, nor a justification for any act, even the most good one. At least not in any public way. Bruno So far the only ontologies that don't seem to merely push the question back a step are ones like Bruno's comp, Russell's "theory of nothing" or Max Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
