Discordia

Discordia is an extremely dogmatic religion, for values of dogmatic that can be found in the numerical columns of the stock listing of the Wall Street Times, the well-thumbed pages of your own diary, or the back of a mustard package. Discordians are known for irreverent 'religious observances' consisting of thinly-veiled parties, pranks, and nifty symbology. In Fenspace, Discordia is primarily known for the Discordia Accords and the Principia Universalis.

Principia Universalis

In the same way that anyone can claim to be Discordian (hardliners disagree, and are summarily ignored), everyFan can claim the Principia Universalis and the Discordia Accords if they run across a situation they need some legalese or religious wiggle room to get out of. Within reason, of course (blatantly amoral acts, like, say ... holding the world for ransom with a kinetic weapon don't fall under the Accords, and neither does slave-trade, Reaver-ism, and so on). If the situation can't be resolved by the Accords' invoker, a friendly branch of Her Church is willing to send negotiators to aid those in need by ways of debate and legalese-nonsense-induced confusion. It's not just a faux-belief. It's a state of being ^_^.
