	Discordianism - Encyclopedia Dramatica
		Invented by a geek and a couple of hippies in the 1950's as a cheap substitute for marijuana, Discordianism not just a seriously old meme; it is in fact a rather sneaky Illuminati trap designed to look like a religion to some, and like lulz to others.
		It is theorized by some that these are phases that each Discordian must go through on their path through life; these theorizers are sometimes known as Wicca and are ruthlessly mocked by actual people.
		Discordians are required to mock any other Discordian they sense Being Bothered, and to encourage them to "just let it (all) go (permanently)" on the basis that the lack of philosophical underpinnings is a small price to pay for a feeling of self-assurance, or maybe just numbness.

	Discordianism - Uncyclopedia
		Discordianism presents itself as a religious organisation dedicated to encouraging development of "the human spirit." The Church states that it is a non-profit fnord organisation that works especially in the areas of mental counselling and rehabilitation.
		Discordians believe the rectal mind is the root of an individual's travail, as well as the root of mankind's inhumanity and inability to create lasting, prosperous, sane societies.

	Discordianism - encyclopedia article - Citizendium
		This is touted within the bible of Discordianism as the specific reason why disorder and chaos are often viewed in such a negative light, and people have a tendency to fixate upon destructive disorder, even in the face of all of the constructive disorder in the world.
		A perpetual Discordian calendar is included in each edition of the Principia Discordia, and it is certainly a fact that most Linux distributions contain a file called "ddate", which gives the current date on the Discordian calendar.
		Discordianism, as revealed by letters from Malaclypse to various members of Discordian cabals which are presented in the Principia Discordia, is alleged to be tied up with the Bavarian Illuminati (the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria, a group of shadowy conspirators), and much of the book is tied to this secrecy.

	Discordianism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Discordianism is a modern, Chaos-based religion founded in either 1958 or 1959.
		The foundational document of Discordianism is the Principia Discordia written by Malaclypse The Younger (an alias of Greg Hill).
		The Principia Discordia often hints that Discordianism was founded as a dialectic antithesis to more popular religions based on order, although the rhetoric throughout the book describes chaos as a much more underlying impulse of the universe.

	Discordianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within the society are sects of Discordianism, each under the direction of an "Episkopos" ("overseer" in Greek, source of English bishop and episcopal), who receives direction directly from Eris, presumably via his or her pineal gland.
		Discordians who do not form their own sects, whether they belong to someone else's sect or not, make up the Legion of Dynamic Discord, and may be referred to as Legionnaires.
		While Discordianism is separate from modern neopaganism, a number of neopagans have incorporated elements of Discordianism into their beliefs.

		One of the main tenets of Discordianism is that 'it is a firm belief that it is a mistake to hold firm beliefs'.
		Discordians focus on disorder, which is symbolized by the golden apple with kallisti written on it, as a corrective for society's emphasis on order.
		Discordianism can be said to be henotheistic, meaning that one Goddess is worshipped primarily but not to the exclusion of other deities' existences.

		Discordianism /dis-kor'di-*n-ism/ /n./ The veneration of Eris, a.k.a.
		Discordianism was popularized by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's novel "Illuminatus!" (Bibliography) as a sort of self-subverting Dada-Zen for Westerners -- it should on no account be taken seriously but is far more serious than most jokes.
		Consider, for example, the Fifth Commandment of the Pentabarf, from "Principia Discordia": "A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing What he Reads." Discordianism is usually connected with an elaborate conspiracy theory/joke involving millennia-long warfare between the anarcho-surrealist partisans of Eris and a malevolent, authoritarian secret society called the Illuminati.

		Literally, Discordianism is a modern cult of Eris, the Greek Goddess of Discord and Chaos.
		Discordianism was an important influence on the Church of the SubGenius, which branched away from Discordianism in 1981.
		Discordianism is certainly influenced by these ancient traditions, but it is more likely rooted in 20th century American "Beatnik" thought, which can be traced to earlier Dadaist schools of thought.

		The sect of Discordianism founded by Malaclypse The Younger and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst is known as THE PARATHEO-ANAMETAMYSTIKHOOD OF ERIS ESOTERIC (POEE), and the Principia Discordia tells us much about POEE in particular, as well as Discordianism in general.
		Like most of Discordianism, the Law of Fives appears on the surface to be either some sort of weird joke, or bizarre supernaturalism; but under this, it provides deep insight into how (Discordians believe) the human mind works.
		Furthermore, the "Official Discordian Document Numbering System" from the second holy law is not mentioned anywhere else in the Principia, although it may have something to do with the fact that all page numbers in the book add leading zeroes to give them five digits.

		As Discordianism is based around the idea that disorder is as valid as order, it is difficult to find any description of this religion that is not filled with paradoxes, misleading language, obscure imagery, bawdy jokes and bald-faced lies.
		The contrariness of the Discordian position disrupts the stagnation of thought by requiring that the mystic readjust his/her point of view to effectively argue against (or at least annoy) the mystic's opponent.
		To the Discordian mystic, there is a flaw in accepting enlightenment, because one then clings to enlightenment the same way one clings to the mundane world, developing an ego based upon one's existence as enlightened.

		The basics of Discordianism is that the dominant force in the universe is chaos and that true joy can be found in discord.
		Discordians personify this chaos and discord in the form of the Greek/Roman goddess Eris Discordia.

		With a backward glance at the Ancient Romans and Greeks and the purloining of a couple of old gods, Eris and Discordia, the modern Discordians happily promote the understanding of absolutely everything on the basis that absolutely everything is pretty much nonsense.
		Eris (the Greek one) is credited by The Discordians with The Law of Eristic Escalation which says that The Imposition of Order equals The Escalation of Chaos which neatly sums up their quite sensible take on the lunacy of faith, religion and pretty much everything else.
