Discordianism Decompiled · Book Two · Chapter 1 of 6
Preface to Book Two
PREFACE TO BOOK TWO
Every religion needs doctrines. Rules. Commandments. Things you must believe and do.
Discordianism has those too.
Sort of.
The problem is that Discordianism is fundamentally opposed to rigid doctrine, which means our doctrines are inherently self-contradictory.
This is not a bug. This is the core feature.
The doctrines in this book are:
- Absolutely binding (unless you disagree)
- Eternally true (subject to change)
- Mandatory for all practitioners (completely optional)
- Sacred commandments (that you should probably ignore)
If this confuses you, you're getting it.
If this makes perfect sense, you're also getting it.
If you're not sure which one applies, you're definitely getting it.
A Note from Management
Contradictions aren't bugs in the system. They ARE the system. You're welcome. — Eris
Let us proceed to the sacred contradictions.
