Discordianism Origins, 1958 Whittier Bowling Alley
The Discordian Society originated in a Whittier, California bowling alley in 1958, founded by teenagers Kerry Thornley and Greg Hill. The duo conceived a religion dedicated to Eris, the Greek goddess of chaos, as a response to the perceived lack of order in the universe. After Thornley's stint in the Marines, the pair moved to New Orleans in the early 1960s to publish the first edition of the Principia Discordia.
