- Chaos and order are two sides of the same coin:
Wrong!!!!, It is Order and DISORDER that are two sides of the same coin, the coin being Chaos. To manifest herself into this multiverse, Eris uses order and disorder, negentropy and entropy.
- Discordians are against any type of rules and leaders:
I get this one a lot from Discordians themselves. It is not that we are against rules, we just are not bound by them should we choose not to be. We understand that there are need for rules, but they shouldn't stifle the creative spirit or our freedom. Just because we Erisians are very independent, does not mean that we can't be team players. We Erisians have nothing against leaders, it is that we are enlightened enough that we ourselves don't need them. We will acknowledge experts in their fields (I damnsure want my surgeon to be in charge of my operation), but we do not fall in worship of them.
- Discordians like to create chaos:
This is another one that a lot of Erisians believe. No one can create chaos, for that is the realm of goddess Herself. At best we manipulate the flow of eristic vibes in order to combat Greyfaceian vibes. Many Discordians think that they are creating chaos, when in fact all they are doing is being drama queens.
- Discordianism is paganism (or Wiccan):
In actuality paganism and Wicca are in fact Discordian sects (they just won't admit it). While I will not attempt to say what was going on in the minds of Mal-2 and Lord Omar when they wrote the Principia Discordia, evidence suggests that the envisioned Discordianism to be more like Taoism than paganism.
- The goal of Discordianism is to spread chaos:
If we Erisians have any type of goal, it is to be emancipated. Eris told the world that we are free, and that is the most beautiful thing any deity has ever done. If we have a goal, it is to help our brothers and sisters free themselves.
