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 into the creative and the destructive, you don't have to follow anyone's reasonings, but you should beware and follow your own mind. Greyface is thus now a buzzword for any one person that decides that Disorder > Order or Order > Disorder. Both are false, they either take themselves too serious, or not serious enough.
Any more specific questions about Discordianism that you still have, feel free to drop them right here, and anyone with an answer feel free to drop it right back.

Its major internet presence has mostly become the "HAHA my religion says there are no rules TAKE THAT MOM" crowd, but they either grow out of it after a decade or so and never go deeper, or realize the truth that Eris's name means "strife" and it's not all sunshine and unicorn farts and accept it all.

She did set in motion the events, yes, but she did not plan the Trojan War or cause it. The only crime she's guilty of is tossing a pretty bauble into a party. An act which itself was caused by the Olympians not inviting her. As for Satanism and other religions of Abrahamic origin, I personally find them entirely too antagonistic.

Chaoskampf predates that in myth, in reality even longer, but then again its probably some sort of numerical inside-joke (1+1+6+6=14;1+4=5). "Greyface" order enables you to live with roof over your head and not like some ginger on the savannah being hunted by wildlife.
Why stop with Eris? Hail Kali! Hail Cybele! Let all of the priesthood cut off their dicks and drink soy until they develop mantits.

Is a hurricane or earthquake antagonistic? Of course not. Strife is simply a part of life that one either deals with, or fails to deal with. It's the cost of living.
>order enables you to live with roof over your head
Order doesn't enable me to live with a roof over my head, creativity does. Creativity has both ordered and disordered aspects. Innovation is often disruptive to order. And order isn't always a good thing. Order can be constructive, yes, but order can also be destructive. The point is, simply putting order above chaos is the wrong dichotomy, and it would be better to put the constructive over the destructive. This would allow us to eliminate destructive functions of order and include constructive functions of disorder.

The ancient Greek goddess Eris is not a god of chaos or confusion, only discord and strife. She starts wars.
The Discordian deity Eris is a goddess of all of those things. She's far more fun.

I do not like the idea that I have to fill the name out or be called a cabbage. This is a terrible thing to accuse everyone who wants to post, especially since I've already had to strip naked once.
A quick suggestion, I'd probably turn on IDs rather than the robot9000, if only because it's not really that good of a spam tool, but IDs could be used to make sure no one does anything silly like bump their own thread made of grey dried poop on the sidewalk five times because they think their post is unique like the special child they don't call retarded anymore.
Also you'll have trouble replying with fnord. You'll accidentally ban fnord. Don't do that.

Pepe = Kek = Egyptian/4chan god of chaos.
Eris is the goddess of chaos
Both are deities of the same aspect. Both are semi-joke religions. Both teach people chaos magick. Discordianism was there first. If anything, Esoteric Kekism is syncretic with Discordianism.

Discordian and Erisian are both valid synonymous words. Discordian is just used more often as a demonym for a member of Discordianism, and it's a little more specific than Erisian (but much less pleasing to the eyes and ears).

>Kek and Eris
Same thing, Shiva can come too. The part most easily misunderstood is the variable representations, and Shiva works best to describe that nature.
Shiva dances, forever, on the fabric of existence. If Shiva steps on you, Shiva doesn't care. If Shiva doesn't step on you, it's certainly not because Shiva gives a fuck. Shiva just dances.
"There were two; Her name was Strife." is more succinct and applicable in the sense that we apply connotation to words like balance or luck. But what could the idea "luck" mean without the existence of bad-luck? If you speak of heads or tails, surely you speak of the coin itself? Yet we don't have words for the axioms that dictate the premises "Luck/Badluck" "Balance/Imbalance" or even the well known "Good/Evil." It's a wholly Erisian concept to focus on the axiom instead of it's inherent qualities, a predominately esoteric endeavor due to the nature of language, unfortunately, but in the same sense as above, if our axiom(our coin) is Reality, our premises(Heads/Tails) are Eris/Nyx.
