We are a tribe of philosophers, theologians, magicians, scientists, artists, clowns and similar maniacs who are intrigued with Eris, Goddess of Confusion, and her doings.
We believe She sent visions to Her chosen emissaries, later known as Omar Ravenhurst and Malaclypse the Younger, which led them to record the sacred scripture, the Principia Discordia.
The principles of our faith are contained within the Principia, but for those whose Eris-given insight doesn’t find it sufficient, we recognize that several other scriptures contain portions of Her holy message.
We believe Eris speaks to each person individually, and guides his or her actions toward her goals, which are incomprehensible to humankind.
We believe some persons are more adept than others are recognizing Eris’ voice, and we accord those persons the respect due their holy status.
We attempt to understand Eris’ message as expressed through all that exists. We attempt to bring understanding of Eris’ message to others.
We believe that all things are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense.
Feel free to share widely or delete from your harddrive. Feedback welcome; I intend to inflict this on the IRS along with other backround details of Discordianism.
