This makes me smile.
My pal Ed, back when we both lived in Berkeley, introduced me to the Principia Discordia,
which is this sort of Bible that these wacky fuckers who call themselves Discordians (or Erisians) made up,
a sort of guidelines for the worship of Eris/Discordia who is, it happens, the Goddess of Chaos.
I think it's just for fun and not really to be taken seriously.
Last I remember, religion and anarchy don't mix so well.
Still, if you absolutely have to have a religion...
I was interested in it mostly for its recognition of the whole 23 enigma,
which I was real into back then.
I'd love to look at the thing now.
I think it might be totally hilarious
and I could probably use some churchin' up.
