The Church of Subgenius started as a religious parody. There are people who take it far more seriously than it was originally intended.
I had a friend who got into it and would get emotionally upset when I’d make fun of JR Bob Dobbs. Which was depressing, because I felt that was the whole point to Dobbs.
I see the same thing in Doge. Starts as a joke. Some people buy into it, because funny. Then people buy into it because they miss the point of the joke, or because what started as a joke becomes dogma.

I’ve been a member of the Church for more than ten years and take it more seriously than I should. (I paid my $30 to Bobb when it was $30. Can’t wait for my flying pleasure saucer, already planned for where I’m turning my lasers.)
What the fuck.
Did they not participate in any form of Subgenius activity, consume any form of Subgenius art? Did they not listen to the Hour of Slack?
Like, listen to the Agent and Mr. Dobbs. Listen to the way we talk about Connie. Listen to the story about the Subgenius who gets lost on their way to to the Devival and ends up getting their corpse gang banged by wolves, dogs and cops. How on earth would you think that you are supposed to be reverent when talking about Bob?
You’re always going to get this effect.

Sounds like scientology.
