The reason I joined this church in the first place was because I
thought the world as a whole needed to lighten up. Now I'm sorry to say
that is the church to lighten up. The evil cloak of political
correctness has shaded your eyes from the light of truth.
Gone are the days when SubGenius brother defended SubGenius brother
from the tyranical hand of the Conspiracy. The modern SubGenius seems
more concerned about protecting thier self esteem from the criticism of
stark realists than they are about the GUN THAT IS BEING HELD TO THEIR
HEAD, EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!! I have seen more of you jump to defend
the tender feelings of some poor self diluted sucker than I have lift
even one finger to do the job this church was custom built accomplish..
TEAR DOWN THE WALLS !!! ALL THE FUCKING WALLS !!!
Saucers....you wanted saucers? Haaaa.....everyone with a tear in their
eye at 7:01 would have shit themselves and run the other way had they
shown up. What most SubGenii don't understand is that it was never about
aliens their imaginary saucers or the goddammed plastic head that is
J.R. "Bob" Dobbs. Thats right, a sham, a plywood storefront, superficial
eyecandy that protected an infant church from being taken seriously and
thusly crushed.
Well children, it's time to leave the nest. Fly away and be free or
cash into the cold pavement head first, the choice is yours. There comes
a time when you realize that all the bible stories, fables, and story
tales you were told all your life were nothing more than candy coating
for the bitter pills of life's lessons. To prepare you. Every religious
denomination and walk of life has their own pills as a means to their
own ends. None of the medicine ever works if you can't digest as shit
out that ever so sweet candy coating.
And you do know where to find the best pills, don't you? WELL DON'T
YOU!?! Apparently not, judging from the way you react when you think
you've been presented with critisism. You circle defensivly trying to
gather your strength. You bahh and whinny hoping your feeble words carry
some power, ever protective of the young and weak in the group. EXACTLY
LIKE HEARD ANIMALS CONFRONTED BY A PREDITOR!! LIKE SHEEP, LIKE POOR DUMB
SHEEP!!
You can be healed children. But you have to stop using the Church of
the SubGenius as a fallout shelter. You need to use the church to build
a suit of armor woven of Slack and thick skin. Stop being the prey item
and become the predator. That's what the pills are supposed to do, but
you need to get past "Bob". Shit him out like yesterdays watermellon
seeds and learn the beautiful leason that has shown you but you refuse
to look at.
If you don't get it, you'll never have it.

Self diluted or Self DELUDED? It does make a difference.

Strange, you targeted transgenders. The transgenders got pissed off. I don't
see this as some kind of grand scheme of social engineering
on your part. Were they expected to say, "Oh, gee! You're right! I
guess I'm going to stop what I'm doing that gives me the best kick
around for your sole benefit"?

More thick skin than slack these past few years. It seems the status quo that
SubGenii are to put up with being razzed, and if you can't
take it, then you're weak.
Hell, I could go to Scientology and run TR0 - Bullbait for that. It's the
same thing. At least SubGenius is cheaper at a flat fee of $30.
> Stop being the prey item

Fine and dandy. I think you got your alignment wrong. Since when do the wolves
attack each other when there are so many sheep about?
HINT: Wolves - SubGenii ; Sheep - Normals
Unless you're implying that there is some kind of pecking order within
the "church"; in which case, you're advocating the very thing that
we call the Conspiracy. The thing we sent our money off to for an
excuse to excuse ourselves from it.
> If you don't get it, you'll never have it.
Some get it, Strange.
I personally think that BOTH you and Nikkita & Lil get it.
IN YOUR OWN WAYS.

Yes. Precisely. That's it exactly. I think we can end this thread now
because that sums it up *perfectly*.
By the way, I tend to be more like one of those bacteria in the gut of

Mainly in looks and personality, though.

Actually, Andreux, I have yet to get pissed at Strange. Rolled my eyes, yes.
Laughed my ass off, yes. Pissed? Shit, the boy's just running his mouth
thinking he's being CHALLENGING. Since that's what most people do on this
newsgroup I can't fault him any more than I can praise him--that is, not at
all.
I do get the impression, though, that Strange is bitter that the army of
Superior Mutants he expected turned out to be a bunch of computer geeks,
queers, and other fuckups he can barely stand. Boo fuckin' hoo.
"Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke," they say. And LO, they were FUCKED, and

Of course there's a fucking pecking order in the CotSG. Damn, Andrew, if
there was no pecking order, why would you kiss so much hierarchy ass for

You know, this is the furthest I've ever seen someone go over their
notion of correct grammar. I guess Rev. Strange REALLY CARES about
pronouns.

Thanks, Strange, I laughed my ass off! Man, the IRONY of accusing the Church of
political correctness and yet insisting there's one path of right behavior and
right thought is brilliant. You could go far if you practice ranting like this,
really.

Um, guys? Hey, guys?
I'm apparently not getting all the posts here, so I am not exactly sure-
who exactly called me an asexual Crispin Glover wannabe? I do not really
understand what the heck this thread is about nowadays. Is this supposed
to be a flamewar, or something? Because if so, I refuse to be offended. I
am not some sort of Lou Duchez sacrificial lamb for the amusement of the
Holocaustals. If there are, like, some sort of issues at stake here, like
for instance how Slackful it is to try and set SubGenius against SubGenius
for idle amusement and whether duplicity and hypocrisy is acceptable in
order to advance your vision of a SubGenius World Order or perhaps whether
it is possible for any man, woman, or Yeti to have a claim on the One True
Nature of Reality or whatever, I'll be happy to discuss them, but please
don't expect me to be serious about them.
Otherwise, would you like to talk to my supervisor?

I didn't really get it. Especially not since he certainly wasn't the least

You know, apropos of nothing, I am just now listening to Laibach's cover of
"Get Back", and especially in light of this thread, I think it would make a
FANTASTIC Holocaustal anthem. But that's just me.

The answer was given,

Incidentally, it's been a FUCK of a long time since I looked to the Church
for "salvation". What the hell do I need to be saved from? I am in this
Church for two reasons:
1) to learn things
2) to have a good time
It's done a corking good job on both counts, IMO.

"Political correctness" is itself a politically correct buzzword. To use

Oh, yeah, Ed. A great job you've done defending your SubGenius brethren
from the hands of the Conspiracy. Going around insulting them for PULLING
THE WOOL OVER THEIR OWN EYES- for SUBGENIUS behavior- that's solidarity all
the way, man. Sure thing.
Of course, the very idea that there WERE days when SubGenius brother
defended SubGenius brother from ANYTHING is outright laughable. We're a
cadre of paranoid loners who don't trust anyone or anything, least of all
each other.

Ed, are you sure you and I are in the same Church? The Church I'm in says,
"Relax in the safety of your own delusions". I'm not out to destroy the
Conspiracy. You want stark realism? It can't be done. There is no way in
hell you are going to tear down the walls; hell, it's highly unlikely that
you'll tear down ANY of the walls. The most you can manage is to get
yourself killed in the process.
If there's one thing I've learned from this Church it's that no one person
has a claim on "Objective Reality", and that the people to claim to are
usually the most deluded of them all. You seem to relish questioning
everybody's taboos and assumptions EXCEPT FOR YOUR OWN.
You're a strong and devoted warrior in the battle against the Conspiracy,
and that's a good thing. But perhaps you ought to take a tip from the
folks who helped define the battle against the Conspiracy- the Muslims.
Without their Jihad, would our struggle today be as strong? I doubt it.
What few people- especially Muslims- realize about Jihad is that there are
two forms of Jihad- the lesser Jihad and the greater Jihad. The lesser
Jihad is the Jihad we all know and love- death to blasphemers and enemies
of Allah. The greater Jihad, however- ah, the greater Jihad. The greater
Jihad is the struggle against yourself- it is the struggle against delusion
and ignorance sown by the enemies of Allah. Before you can conquer the
world, first you must conquer that which you seek to defeat in yourself.
I hope this is of assistance to you.

Yo, fuck that shit, Lynch. I've stood up to mean drunks who wanted to
fight Stang. So did Pope Angus.
In Chicago in 1992 a guy tried to fuck with one of our brethren. I
didn't even know who this Sub was, yet I got in the face of the guy who
was picking on him.
Hell, I don't EVEN want to hear that shit. There are PLENTY of folks in
this church that I trust, and there are plenty of them I'd step into a
fight to protect, even if I didn't know them.
Hell, Lynch, if somebody picked a fight with YOU at Brushwood in front
of me, I'd plant a size ten boot in their ass. Even though you are
obviously a distrustful chickenshit.
With your attitude I'd be surprised if you had ANY friends outside of
Usenet.

Good. I am glad you did. But Legume, in a church of exceptions, you are
an exception. Legume, remember when you died? Remember when Stang posted
the address of your family in his tearful memorial post and said they could
really use our support in this difficult time? How much support did they
get from us?

I am starting to think that the Holocaustals have mastered a new and
advanced form of Yeti language that looks and smells* exactly like ordinary
everyday English, but is in fact COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and thus utterly
incomprehensible to anyone only schooled in the better-known English
language. I have just had a high-ranking member of a Church renowned for
its utterly cynical and paranoid vision downdress me for my cynicism and
paranoia.
Note, however, that this incomprehensibility is a good thing, as trying to
come to terms with your statements- which are often based on very profound
insights, insights alien to many SubGenii, even if the conclusions can be
bizarre and nonsensical- is a great form of brain isometrics. I'm not sure
if the disdain you obviously hold me in makes your comments more or less
valuable, but I think the Church is definitely a better place for your
presence.
* Mmmmm! Foam rubber!

the problem with walls built around yourself, sir, is that as much as you
plan them, as much as you scheme and desire to have them work the way you
want them to,
they have a nifty habit of building themselves.
strong.
thick.
tall.
nothing in.
nothing out.
is that your church?
the church of the one man all alone, not able to feel a thing?
and by the time those walls do crumble, and more than likely, crumble in
upon the one they were "protecting", who will be there to say, "hey man,
you ok?"
noone will, because you will have alienated every one in your church.
sure, telling someone that they are "ok" is weak and faggy and sorry-assed.
suck it up.
sometimes you have to protect them, lest they crumble into dust.
how many pinkboy condupe blah blah blah's are actually burn-outs? how many
of them would have been good and decent people, if it weren't for the fact
that they had been presented with a stark reality too often, too quickly?
you wanna sit in yer little castle and fire shells at people,
go ahead,
but you may find yourself on a barren battlefield. and once you've won,
well,
what will be your prize?
