The Church of the SubGenius

The Church of the SubGenius is a satirical organization founded in the late 1970s that parodies religion, conspiracy theories, and pop culture. It promotes the idea of "Slack" as a metaphor for personal freedom and irony, using humor and absurdity to critique societal norms. Its teachings often feature exaggerated figures like J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, and it employs parody rituals, artwork, and media to challenge conventional beliefs and provoke critical thought. While it appears to be a genuine faith-based group, it primarily functions as a parody and social commentary.
