So if I'm a Church of the Subgenius Employer can I require my employees
to worship Jehovah 1 and uphold the values of the group?
This message brought to you by J. R. "Bob" Dobbs.
Five specific commands particularly embody the group's values.
The first command is to shun regular employment and stop working. This encapsulates the Church's view that to repent is to "SLACK OFF" (sic),[38] in opposition to the idea of working for a living.[19] SubGenius leaders state that it is permissible for members to collect public assistance in lieu of maintaining employment.[38]
The second command is to purchase products that are sold by the Church, which its leaders teach was founded by Dobbs to gain wealth.[40] Unlike most religious groups, the Church is for-profit.[17] Cusack sees the instruction to buy as an ironic parody of the "greed is good" mentality of the 1980s,[38] and Kirby notes that although the group emphasizes "the consumption of popular cultural artefacts", this consumption is "simultaneously de-emphasized by the processes of remix".[41]
The third command is to rebel against "law and order": specifically, the Church condemns security cameras and encourages computer hacking. Cusack notes that this instruction recalls Robert Anton Wilson's critique of law and order.
The fourth command is to rid the world of everyone who did not descend from Yetis.[38] SubGenius leaders teach that Dobbs hopes to rid the Earth of 90 percent of humanity, making the Earth "clear".[40] The group praises drug abuse and abortion as effective methods of culling unneeded individuals.
The fifth command is to exploit fear, specifically that of individuals who are part of the conspiracy. Church leaders teach that members of the conspiracy fear SubGenius devotees.[38]
