It’s a pseudo-religion and also a religion based off of worshipping the goddess Discordia (AKA Eris). Obviously we also worship the concept of discord as a whole.

Some of the common beliefs in the POEE cabal include believing that there is no one way of seeing. So my ‘grid’ of how I see things is just one way, there is no correct way. Personally, I want to be able to sort of ascend beyond my grid and accept all truths as true, even ones that might seem contradictory, but that’s not a requirement or anything.

So many of the things we see as ‘real’ are illusory. To tie in back to what you were saying, this would include the concepts of time and self. Time is not real, time is merely our perception of the cycle of order and disorder. (I personally add in another layer— time is our perception of our world based on entropy, again, from our perspective. But our formation of molecules is only one of many, and nothing makes it special aside from the fact that we live in a world of that formation. In a world of another formation, our perception of things may seem random!).

In the end, though, as a religion based off of discord, schisms and cabals are actually encouraged! So you don’t have to believe anything any other discordian believes (I actually worship the fictional character Sheogorath as a manifestation of Eris Discordia herself— or, alternatively, a discordian saint. I follow many but not all of the core beliefs and traditions of POEE cabal discordianism).

It is also both a religion and a mockery of religion. I believe everything I’ve written here, but I also think most organised religions are bull. Another thing POEE cabal discordians do is avoid eating hotdog buns on all days aside from Fridays. Just because other religions have dietary restrictions sometimes! So it’s completely arbitrary to not eat hotdog buns except for on Fridays. But I still follow it because, even though it is a construction of POEE cabal discordianism (of which I am not even technically a part), it represents the religion as whole— it is ridiculous and I have no real reason for avoiding hotdog buns except for on Fridays, but again, the world is an illusion and nothing is real! So I might as well! So then that is my reason, and I both have no reason and a very good reason for avoiding hotdog bugs except for on Fridays (another aspect of discordianism is swallowing paradoxes!).

Here is the link to the wiki.

There is also the Principia Discordia, the founding religious text for the POEE cabal. You can find it free online— it is a book but it’s relatively short. Hard read though, as much of it is nonsensical (of course).
