Discordianism

I've lighty researched the religion (if you can call it that) of Discordianism. I find it to be among the most interesting of all spiritual beliefs. Their satirical and humorous ways that also retain very useful truth just astound me. I would just like to know more about it and their philosiphies and all of that from someone who knows it very well, and hopefully from someone who may be Discordian. If someone would be able to enlighten me on the subject that would be wonderful.

Discordianism is a religion disguised as a joke that is disguised as a religion. Even their core writings say that if all you get out of this is humor, then read it again.

Hail, Eris! The Principia Discordia is a fantastic philosophical and satirical work. I've written a few posts about it in the philosophy forum with some excerpts I particularly like, if anyone is interested.

True, but it also says that us Discordians are forbidden to believe anything we read. :cool:

Once Eris has laid her hand on you, you cannot look elsewhere. There is no elsewhere. There is only Eris, and She is . . . . . . . . .playing Donkey Kong ??

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.

A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.

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).

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.

A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing What he Reads.

"Since all things come in fives if you but look long enough, I shall give five answers.

Discordianism is a religion masked as a joke, a joke-based religion.
Discordianism is a joke masked as a religion, a religion-based joke.
Discordianism is a funhouse mirror.
Discordianism is a dancing llama.
Discordianism is a striped umbrella-category for comedic expressions of chaos and mischievous triggers of cognitive dissonance."
