She is a moral and a fable, one of the few told through a fun sense of humour.
She is my code and ethos and a way of describing the way I feel about the world.

She doesn't want me to pin her into a box, so I use whichever model seems most appropriate at the time.

What Alphapance said. I could see Lucifer as being an anti-God, whatever it means, since he himself is not a deity to begin with and is at war with God, but I'm not certain Eris would qualify, since she is recognized as a goddess in Greek myth.
I disagree with Lucifer not being a deity. But I guess it depends on how you define it though.

Eris is sexy as fuck though.  :D

Depends on perspective. I'm always going to see him as a fallen angel, due to my upbringing. Sometimes you can't shake off some of the Catholic.

And yes she is. Respectful :fap:

To me, she's the face attached to an idea.

Fair enough, but does the face represent a distinct and valid personality, or is she just more of a mascot?

So, to you she's basically a metaphor, yeah?

Interesting. This implies some independent intelligence, unless I am mistaken. What's appropriate for you at the present time?

No, she is partially a metaphor. But seeing as you are interested more in the boring old personification side of her (the part that is irrelevant), her living persona exists in the minds of those who know of her.

My interest here is in getting a view of how different Discordians see her. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what you're saying.

Eris is a black clad blood soaked goddess of war, destruction, strife, and discord.

By that descriptions, no one would be interested in her except psychopaths.

Well if you want to take the ancient Greeks at their word when describing her. Wasn't the quote that the ancient Greeks weren't to be trusted with these kind of things.

I wonder what her sexual orientation is. I'm guessing bi.

It's a well-known fact that Eris is decidedly trisexual.

Sounds sorta like the Christian switch from the vengeful YHWH to the new testament god of love.
