The Heresies of Rev Roger,
Chapter 2
A simple fact that most Discordians don't want to think about
is this: We need the Greyfaces far, far more than they need us.
In simple terms, we simply could not survive without them...if
every greyface on Earth disappeared tomorrow, we would all
be dead 3 days after the canned food ran out. Most of us would
be dead long before that; abcessed teeth, strep throat, and other
simple ailments would carry us off in droves long before the
last supermarket shelf had been stripped.
Thus, we are, in essence, parasites. We are the guinea worm in
the guts of society, prone to suddenly erupt from the flesh of
the body politic much like the movie Alien (though much
smaller)(1). We feed from the greyface, and offe nothing they
care for, or need, in return. The argument that we function as a
"safety valve" is sheer nonsense, as anyone NEEDING that
valve isn't a greyface...that person is a discordian. So, perhaps a
better analogy is that we are digger wasps (2)...we harvest our
replacements from the greys. In addition, we provide no more
of a "spark of genius" than is normal. The smartest man that
ever lived, Sir Isaac Newton, was as grey as English cooking.
Ye Gods, can this be true? Is it possible that we really aren't
daring rebels at all, but rather an insidious parasite that not only
feeds from its host, but mocks it while we do so? This is a
horrible thought...but far more hideous truths await...
or kill me
