Statement of Beliefs

No two discordians agree on what it is to be a discordian.

Discordianism, or Erisianism, is the worship or reverence of the Greek Goddess Eris (Roman: Discordia), the Goddess of Chaos and Confusion.

The ancient Greeks and Romans believed her to be particularly nasty, doing horrible things mainly just to spite and hurt people. However, WE know the Truth.

Now, if we could only agree on it, we could get something done.

Oddly enough, all knowledge we do have on Eris, other than Greek and Roman sources (which are not too reliable, to say the least) tends to come from the Principia Discordia, and from personal experience. No two Discordians are alike, and neither are two Discordianisms. Unless they are. Don't blame me, I didn't do it.

Discordia is an irriligious disorganization of free thinkers, individualists, crazies, cyber phreaks, etc. Discordia states that God is a girl and her name is Eris. Eris is the Greco-Roman godess of discord, strife, confusion, and chaos. Discordians promote all those things, along with a lack of seriousness and a generally humorous outlook towards life. Discordians also oppose order in all forms and work to disrupt it in such a way as to "wake up" people to what they are actually doing, which is being just another gear in the human machine, rather than being an active participant in LIFE. DISCORDIANS NEVER TAKE ANYTHING SERIOUSLY! And we take great joy in confusing people. Thats a general statement; not everyone believes these ideals, but they are the most common.

  1. There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement. And every Golden Apple Corps is the beloved home of a Golden Worm.
  2. A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.
  3. A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).
  4. A Discordian shall Partake of No Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.
  5. A Discordian is Prohibited from Believing What he reads.

Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia was just a product of Reverend Loveshade's crazed imagination on Mid Year's Day of 2005, but is growing faster than the monkeys who flew out of Cherub Princess Shamlicht's butt.

 

Hail Eris!
