Discordianism is a religion and subsequent philosophy based on the veneration or worship of Eris (also known as Discordia), the Greco-Roman goddess of chaos, or archetypes or ideals associated with her. It was founded circa 1958–1959 after the publication of its (first) holy book, the Principia Discordia , written by two individuals working under the pseudonyms Malaclypse the Younger and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst . The religion has been likened to Zen , based on similarities with absurdist interpretations of the Rinzai school , as well as Taoist philosophy. Discordianism is centered on the idea that both order and disorder are illusions imposed on the universe by the human nervous system , and that neither of these illusions of apparent order and disorder is any more accurate or objectively true than the other.
