Founded 1958-59 by Malaclypse the Younger, the principal text is the ''Literature/PrincipiaDiscordia''. Considered by some to be a parody religion, and called "Zen for roundeyes" by others, Discordianism recognizes chaos, disorder, and dissent as being both valid and even desirable (in contrast to most other religions, which idealize order and harmony). The matron deity is Eris, Greek goddess of chaos - also known as Discordia to the Romans.

Discordia is the Latin name of Eris, who is revered as The Goddess in a little-known but far-reaching religion called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism Discordianism]]. To quote Wiki/TheOtherWiki, it is "a religion centered around the idea that chaos is all there is and that order and disorder are both ideas imposed upon chaos." Which tells you what it is - in the same way that saying Christians worship Jesus tells you what's going on there.

* Creator/AGnosis's version of Eris takes more from Discordianism than she does from Myth/ClassicalMythology.
