And don't forget an important fourth: the Church of the SubGenius. We LOVED it when a British newspaper declared us a satanic cult back in 1992; I'm still trying to find a copy of that article for myself. Not only do we want people to read dissenting materials about us, but we encourage SubGenii themselves to write their own critical material! How else can a religion discover its flaws and work on them? If you keep on writing about how perfect you are all the time, then you'll refuse to admit that you have flaws. This is impossible. In fact, our founder and Savior, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, has more flaws than anyone else in the UNIVERSE! That's why he's the ULTIMATE SubGenius.

Hell, we NEED criticism!

We WANT to be persecuted! Get on over to alt.slack, Scientologists, and PERSECUTE us! We're BEGGING FOR IT!
