If you're not familiar with Discordianism, you're probably wondering what the hell this board is all about, so I'm going to lay things straight so you can get your bearings amongst the confusion.
>What the fuck IS Discordianism?
Long story short, Discordianism is a religion that started in the early 60's based around the ancient Greek Goddess of Chaos, Confusion, and Discord. Starting religions was a popular hobby back then, so a couple of guys got together, made their own holy text, passed it around, and many people had great fun with it.
>So what's it all about then?
You should probably read the Principia yourself, but the basic point is that Chaos is the ultimate creative power behind everything. Chaos consists of Order and Disorder, which may or may not be social constructs. There is no single message of importance to the Principia Discordia, but it is quite an enjoyable read. Any individual may feel free to interpret it in any way they wish. You may even ignore it altogether.
>Say, you're not trying to convert me, are you?
It differs per board owner, but I'd say yes, join the Society and find your sect. It's all up to you what you want to do. The Discordian Society is entirely decentralized, making it possible for you to make your own sect or join in on anothers' beliefs and projects. If you are curious to find out more about Discordianism, it is not advised to use the internet to do so, and certainly not the first or second thing you find on Google. This board is a place to discuss your findings.
>What is this "greyface" thing that you people keep going on about?
In the year 1166 BC, a man by the name of Greyface decided that life had to be seriously considered. From that point on, anyone which believes in the division of Disorder and Order within Chaos and chooses one over the other is regarded as bearing the Curse of Greyface. In reality there are no divisions in Chaos, you can't cut it in half like a pie. Within the Discordian Society there is however a lot of hypocrisy, thus POEE decided to put a positive spin on Chaos by dividing it Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
