There is no God. Well, okay, maybe one. Two, three, tops. Maybe. Okay, two or three dozen, all right, enough already, who cares?
Although I am a relatively new self-appointed Pope of Discordianism, am constantly getting excommunicated by GrouchoGhandhi, and am constantly being ignored in my quest to have pig-wrestling-with-a-blanket-in-mud recognized as the official initiation ritual of Discordianism, still I deeply appreciate the efforts of Robert Anton Wilson in his life pursuit to demonstrate just how totally ridiculous, to the point of absurdity, is the concept of organized religion.
Now, this greatest of all founding profits is in dire need of assistance, being as he is a sufferer of post polio syndrome. A good man is dying, and his medical bills are considerable. I will say nothing further about it, as Rufus in Grad Student Madness has already said it very succinctly.
And so, I urge you to read that post from Rufus, and afterwards to visit Wilsons web-site. If you are so inclined, and able, I urge you to contribute to his medical expenses, which you can do through his pay-pal account listed there.
As Rufus says, Karma will thank you. Hey, it works in "My Name Is Earl."
Also, your third eye will finally be able to see past your nose. It might not like everything it sees, but you can't have everything. So what, just e-mail a donation by way of this pay pal account, all right? It's at olgaceline@gmail.com. You might have to go to the web-site though for that to go through Pay-Pal.
In closing, that greatest of all universal secrets is, there are actually countless numbers of gods, at last count in fact there are seven billion or so here on this planet. Some of them should have a heart.

The one and only time I met Wilson was at the infamous PhenomiCon conspiracy convention in Atlanta back in '91. I asked him a couple of questions over dinner about Finnegans Wake and he lit up all happy and delivered a nice long lecture on his theories about the book. It was the most intelligent and insightful thing he had to say during the entire event. He loves that book like nothing else.
I highly recommend his Coincidance if FW is something you want to start wrapping your head around. It's a great analysis way outside of the usual droll of the easy-to-build-a-dissertation-on-FW cottage PhD industry.

PS--Did you download the certificate to assure your Discordianismesqueness?
Also, you might be interested in Kerry Thornley's Zenarchy, which is dedicated to Wilson and Camden Benares.
Mr Tony Lee-thanks for your comments.
Groucho-Haven't downloaded it yet, but will. Things have been slow moving today, for some reason. Think it's all right now, but I'm not sure how long that will last. Do I need a printer, cus I don't have one for my home computer.
That's an interesting story, though, and thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into it, in time.
