Discordianism is said to have been founded in 1958 by Greg Hill and Kerry Thornley.

Discordianism has been described as both an elaborate joke disguised as a religion, and a religion disguised as an elaborate joke.

Unlike most religions, which revere the principles of harmony and order in the Universe, Discordianism purports to recognize that disharmony and chaos are equally valid aspects of reality. Discordianism consists almost entirely of playful nonsense, but it should not be assumed that this is inevitably devoid of any more serious underlying meaning.

The patron deity of Discordianism is Eris, the ancient Greeek goddess of discord.

The foundational document is the Principia Discordia.


For those inclined to post Discordian thoughts, the Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense page might be an appropriate repository in some cases.
