For you neophytes, No Prob With Bob/Subgenius has been around since I was a kid.

I wonder how they relate/affiliate with the Spaghetti Monster folks. Any thoughts, Dan?

I don't know. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn't do it for me. Evolution, creation, spaghetti monster. Whatever. Rachel Maddow on their website :vomit: It's pretty obvious that we were created by aliens as an experiment and are being preyed upon by interdimensional archons.

The Church of the SubGenius however is quite entertaining. J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, the savior of Slack.

The Church of the SubGenius' literature incorporates many aspects of conspiracy theories,[21] teaching that there is a grand conspiracy at the root of all lesser ones.[16] It records that there are many UFOs, most of which are used by the conspiracy leaders to monitor humans, although a few contain extraterrestrials. In the Church's view, this conspiracy uses a facade of empowering messages but manipulates people so that they become indoctrinated into its service.[8] The Church refers to these individuals as "pinks" and states that they are blissfully unaware of the organization's power and control.[22] SubGenius leaders teach that most cultural and religious mores are the conspiracy's propaganda.[18] They maintain that their followers, but not the pinks, are capable of developing an imagination; the Church teaches that Dobbs has empowered its members to see through these illusions. Owing to their descent from Yetis, the Church's followers have a capacity for deep understanding that the pinks lack.[8] Cultural studies scholar Solomon Davidoff states that the Church develops a "satiric commentary" on religion, morality, and conspiracies.[21]

SubGenius members believe that those in the service of the conspiracy seek to bar them from "Slack",[21] a quality promoted by the Church. Its teachings center on "Slack"[5] (always capitalized),[17] which is never concisely defined, except in the claim that Dobbs embodies the quality.[2][23] Church members seek to acquire it and believe that it will allow them a free, comfortable life without hard work or responsibility, which they claim as an entitlement.[11][24] Sex and the avoidance of work are taught as two key ways to gain "Slack".[17] Davidoff believes that "Slack" is "the ability to effortlessly achieve your goals".[21] Cusack states that the Church's description of "Slack" as ineffable recalls the way that Tao is described,[8] and Kirby casts "Slack" as a "unique magical system".[25]

Praise Bob!
