Think for yourself, schmuck!
A fairly impressive read. It's definitely a booklet that you should carry around, leave in libraries and church groups, and reccomend to all your friends, companions, co-workers, brain-dead neo-shaman wisemen, and just about anyone else you happen to come across fnord.
It's an entertaining read from a comedy level, with lots of amusing sendups of religions and organised beliefs, which can be applied to anything from christianity to modern-day neo-wiccans, to Crowley's Golden Dawn group. And, like all good comedy, it tends to be rather scathing in it's wit. Which is always amusing - especially considering that the majority of the people it's snide comments are concerning tend to not have the wits to comprehend that it's -them- that's on the recieving end.
And that includes me, and you.
So really, part of the most level impression of this booklet is "Have a sense of humour about yourself. And think for yourself once in a while".
But aside from all this, there's also quite a lot of mystical tidbits sprinkled here and there. You'll find it's actually a lot more useful than a copy of the Necronomicon. And of course, it's always useful if you're interested in establishing a local chapter of the Discordian Movement where you live. No, really, give it a shot. Hail Eris!
Hail Eris
This tiny book is the Discordian Bible fnord, the One True Book of the One True Way, which is the way of there not being One True Way. As self-effacing and self-referential as the Erisian Movement who follow its edicts, this book contains more deep esoteric wisdom per page than most religious works have between them. It also contains even more lies and rubbish, humour and gossip, metaphysics, commandments, bizarre and irrelevant quotations and pictures... it takes an enlightened mind to extract what's important, but fortunately, by the time you've finished reading, either you'll have an enlightened mind or you're forever doomed to be one of Greyface's minions. At least you'll know where you stand.
The One TRUE religion!
Don't let all those maniacal patriarchal religions hold you down - reach for the stars and grab for the holy chao with this holey bible of Discordia. Let Erisianity be your religion - or better still make up your own! This book shows you how and why... Hail Eris Pope Promethomundo the Unborn TLSDP PS - Never trust a man who tells you he has the one true religion
