I didn't think I got the spelling right. When I lived in the Detroit Suburbs, I had a small group of atheistic friends and whenever discussions about religion occurred with outsiders, we professed to be followers of the Greek Goddess Eris. (The Goddess of chaos.) Somehow, German phrases became a part of the fantasy and the primary phrase when pointing out someone's fallacious statement was "gefigender kinderscheisse." Which, I believe means flying baby shit. We had a lot of fun befuddling folks. The legend of Eris is interestin, but I'm remembering it from27 years ago. Apparenly there was a weeding between one of the gods & goddesses. Eris wasn't invited. Toget her revenge she had a beautiful applemade of pure gold with the word Kallisti engraved on it. The word means, "To the prettiest one. She rolled It down the aisle where all the vain goddesses were and every one of them claimed it was theirs. And, apparently the argument broke up the wedding and remains to this day. (Oh, those Greeks!)
As an example of our twisted minds: In addition to Eris, we "worshipped" a version of the holy ghost, but we called it the "holy chao."We printed up certificates for mostly our own amusement and advertised in a neighborhood newspaper. The ad read something like: Become A Religious High Official from an Ancient Greek Religion. It illustrated certificates proclaiming your rank. $5 for a priest or monk, $10 for a Bishop, $20 for an Archbishop, and $24.79 for a Pope. We had very few takers. Actually all we did was amuse ourselves.
still have a certificate for Pope? . I'll give you thirty, now!!! -- j
p.s. I still have my "business cards" from high school which say simply, "On Through Eternity" which I handed out to friends with a guarantee of permanent welcome from me. . very few got them. .
After 3 cross country moves, I haven't a clue of what became of them. HOWEVER.... There is actually a published bible in which all of this is written down by a bunch of nuts from Berkeley, CA. It's called PRINCIPIA DISCORDIA Published by Loompanics Unlimited PO Box 1197 Port Townsend, WA 98368. I have no idea whether it is still in print or even if the publisher still exists The full titkle alone is a hoot. Pricipia Discordia Or How I found goddess and what I did to her when I found her. The magnum opus of Malaclypse the younger Wherein is explained absolutely everything worth knowing about absolutely anything. If it's no longer available, perhaps one of the crazier Gulchers might have a clue. By the way, several of the Erisians evolved into Objectivists, so...you never know.
this is fascinating ... and many scientists might love to align with Ms. Chaos, given the popularity of chaos theory these days! . "what I did to her when I found her" reminds me of the recent fun which a certain fraternity had, when welcoming freshman females and their moms. . Ms. Chaos did things to me when I found her;;; I must have been in the wrong fraternity!!! -- j
Yeah, just imagine the current DOJ ever lifting as much as a little finger against Broom Hillary. As for the FBI having made some noise, old dino predicts the FBI "investigation" will just keep on investigating and investigating and investigating . But should there be a GOP president in 2016, someone might actually indict the hag. . .
I watched a movie on Netflix the other night, "La Dictadura Perfecta". It was supposed to be funny but afterwards I poured a double scotch. We are victims of multiple "Chinese Boxes" abetted my the mainstream media that we can't begin to focus.
Coaldigger, I watched the movie today after your note on it. I agree, when the movie's premise is considered in light of today's reality, it is scary....... I'll be having a double brandy.......
DELETEGATE Its just the tip of the iceberg with Hillary. She is the opposite of Trump in terms of honesty and openness, and a present day reincarnation of Nixon (the originator of the -GATE scandals).
I had to give that one a thumbs up. I never ever would have thought of Nixon as Teddy Bear.
For sure though I wouldn't get a warm fuzzy feeling of safety with the Wicked Witch of the Left holding any kind of power beyond getting the paper off the front lawn.
Opposites. Not at all. Different levels of the same thing is more accurate. Leonardo de Vinci for the quote of the day. "Who does not punish evil commands it be done." Think of that when you are considering the the 'lesser of' fallacy, The only answer to that question is a contradiction with two wrong premises."'
I bet . . . yes. . . well put, sir!!! -- j
