Subgenius Movement

The Church of the SubGenius is a satirical organization founded in the 1950s that critiques religious and societal norms through parody. It promotes absurd, humorous beliefs centered around a character named J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, emphasizing individual freedom from conventional authority and societal expectations. The movement uses satire, irony, and exaggerated rituals to challenge mainstream culture, often highlighting the absurdity of consumerism, religion, and authority figures. While it appears to be a serious religious group, it's primarily a parody that encourages critical thinking and humor about social conventions.
