Exactly.
And in what way is that different than 'serious' prayer, ritual, divination, or other forms of magic?
This is Erisian Mahdjique at it's finest. Understanding the purpose and reasons that these things work, allows one to perform them in anyway, at any moment, and totally suited to the person using the action.
Yes, you can cast a circle with a spork, and it is no different than one cast with a finger, or an athame.
You can pray to the great MegaMechaMonkeyMan, and it's no different than praying to "God".
What differs is the beliefs of the person praying.
Take a step toward understaning things impossible to understand, and you realize it's all madness. But madness is not a bad thing.
It's that madness that allows us to create bionic limbs for amputees. It's that madness that allows us to feed more people an we have food for. It's that madness that allows us to do great works in the name of a being that we have no proof even of their existance.
In nature, the end justifies the means. We are nature, mad with power, and forward into the future we drive 'God's' will. Our madness is our greatest tool.
" "What is this?" mumbled one to the other, "A religion based on The Goddess of Confusion? It is utter madness!"
And with those words, each looked at the other in absolute awe. Omar began to giggle. Mal began to laugh. Omar began to jump up and down. Mal was hooting and hollering to beat all hell. And amid squeals of mirth and with tears on their cheeks, each appointed the other to be high priest of his own madness, and together they declared themselves to be a society of Discordia, for what ever that may turn out to be."
