If other Pagans can’t poke fun of Paganism, and people who aren’t Pagan can’t poke fun at Paganism, then I’m really not sure I want to identify as Pagan anymore. I have no interest in being put into a group of stuffy, uptight dicks who think their religion is super fucking serious and is always serious and every Pagan ever is worthy of all of our respect at all times and don’t you dare suggest otherwise.

Fuck off, fuck off, our religions are all jokes. Paganism and Christianity and Islam and Judaism and Atheism. They’re all jokes and deserve to be made fun of when we’re being ridiculous.

I have no time for a bunch of greyfaces.

One of the most important parts of Discordianism, The Curse of Greyface features prominently on several pages of the Principia Discordia. According to claims made in the Principia, Greyface was a man who lived in the year 1166 BC and taught that life is serious and play is sin. The curse is the psychological and spiritual imbalance that results from these beliefs, both individually and within groups, nations, and civilizations.

According to the Principia, Greyface existed and had followers who he encouraged to “Look at all the order around you” (Principia Discordia page 00042), and he somehow convinced mankind to agree with his ideas about Serious Order. The Principia notes that it is something of a mystery why Greyface gained so many followers when anyone could have looked at all of the disorder in the world.

Greyface and his followers took the game of playing at life more seriously than they took life itself and were known even to destroy other living beings whose ways of life differed from their own.

—Malaclypse the Younger, Principia Discordia, Page 00042

According to the Principia, by accepting that life is a serious, orderly matter, the followers of Greyface end up viewing things as either orderly or disorderly. In this system, order is preferred to disorder at all costs.

An alternative is to view disorder as preferable at all costs. To quote: “To choose order over disorder, or disorder over order, is to accept a trip composed of both the creative and the destructive. But to choose the creative over the destructive is an all-creative trip composed of both order and disorder” — Malaclypse the Younger, K.S.C.

If you’re going to take away my ability to enjoy the odd, weird, or ridiculous elements of our religions, then I don’t want to be a part of it anymore.
