| - Discordianism is a system of beliefs and teachings, originally established as a secular philosophy in 101 by Señor Poopenheimer, recharacterized in 201 as an "applefied religious philosophy" and is quite possibly the most ridiculous, hare-brained, crackpot load of horse snogger ever to be conceived by zonked out hippie dope-fiends hanging out in a bowling alley at 3 a.m. eternal. On the plus side, it comes with a nice side of home fries, which are crisp and yet not burnt around the edges like the ones you usually get from the bloody chowderheads at IHOP are.

| - Discordianism is a system of beliefs and teachings, originally established as a secular philosophy in 101 by Señor Poopenheimer, recharacterized in 201 as an "applefied religious philosophy" and is quite possibly the most ridiculous, hare-brained, crackpot load of horse snogger ever to be conceived by zonked out hippie dope-fiends hanging out in a bowling alley at 3 a.m. eternal. On the plus side, it comes with a nice side of home fries, which are crisp and yet not burnt around the edges like the ones you usually get from the bloody chowderheads at IHOP are. Central to the Discordian belief system is order. Discordians believe in a harmonious, ordered universe, created and presided over by a benevolent God. Furthermore, Discordian teachings state that rigid social structures and an authoritarian law code are the fastest way to happiness. Discordians see meaning in all things, but they are especially fond of rules. Especially contradicting ones. It is most prominently represented by the Principia Discordia, written in 1812 by Plato and Walter Benjamin. The Principia was rediscovered in 1066 by Malaclypse the Younger, who took credit for its authorship. Discordianism presents itself as a religious organisation dedicated to encouraging development of "the human spirit." The Church states that it is a non-prophet organisation that works especially in the areas of mental counselling and rehabilitation. It presents itself fnord as an alternative to psychiatry, which Discordians believe to be a barbaric and corrupt profession. Members of the Church offer reference stories that emphasise the use of Poopenheimer's teachings (or "technology") to free them from drug and alcohol addictions, depression, learning disabilities, mental disorders, money, and other problems. The Church of Discordianism, however, has been the subject of much criticism that contradicts the Church's self-description. Critics - including mainstream journalists, former members of Discordian management, judges and government officials from a number of countries - have characterised the Church of Discordianism as an unscrupulous commercial organisation; it has frequently been characterised as a cult that ruthlessly exploits its members for cash and which has a history of criminality. Which is for the most part true. The Church of Scientology had repeatedly sued the Discordian church for copyright infringements, but the discordians often get off by nature of insanity. A Discordian is a member of a super secret death cult, which is why we are writing about it on our web page. Discordianism is the official religion of Uncyclopedia.
