This church was created in the 1950?s by the “worlds greatest salesman” J.R.”Bob” Dobbs. The Church of the SubGenius is a parody religion that promotes slack, satirizes religion, conspiracy theories, UFOs, and popular culture. The church started with the publication of SubGenius Pamphlet #1 in 1979. It found acceptance in underground pop-culture circles and has been in the underground music scene, on college campuses and on the Internet. Some famous people support the group, such as Paul Reubens (Pee-wee Herman), he’s a SubGenius minister. Probably the most important SubGenius event occurred on July 5, 1998: X-Day. The Church had been predicting that on this day the world would be destroyed by invading alien armies known as the X-ists (which is short for “Men from Planet X”). When the event didn’t occur, the church administrator who predicted it was tarred and feathered – but was allowed to continue on as administrator.
