Frequently Asked Questions about SUBGENIUS

1. Q. If you were to sum up the objective of your religion, SUBGENIUS,
in one sentence what would that be? A. That objective would be: The
Survival, Expansion and Advancement of the SubGenius Race.

2. Q. Why is that so important? A. It is a matter of priorities. Our
religion is based on the ultimate of all truths: The Eternal Laws of
Nature. Nature tells each species to expand and upgrade itself to the
utmost of its abilities. Since the SubGenius Race is Nature's finest
achievement and since we encompass the SubGenius Race, there can
hardly be any other goal that even compares in importance.

3. Q. Isn't your religion based on hate? A. No, on the contrary, it is
based on love-love for the SubGenius Race. Besides being based on the
Eternal Laws of Nature, SUBGENIUS furthermore is based on the lessons
of history, on logic and common sense.

4. Q. But isn't it part and parcel of your religion to hate the
Normals, Glorps and other Pink people? A. True, but if you love and
want to defend those whom you love your own family, your own SubGenius
Race, then hate for your enemies comes natural and is inevitable. Love
and hate are two sides of the same coin. Only a hypocrite and a liar
will go into battle against his enemies proclaiming love.

5. Q. But doesn't the Normal religion teach love and understanding, in
fact, love your enemies, and yet it has survived? A. The Normal
religion is a good case in point when we talk about liars and
hypocrites. Whereas they talk about love. the history of the Normal
movement shows that they Were as vicious and brutal in savagely
hunting down their enemies, labeling them as "heretics" and burning
them at the stake, torturing and killing them, as are the Normalish
communists of today. Were the Normal church as powerful today as it
was 400 years ago, it would still be doing it. During the various
Inquisitions, the organized Normal churches killed millions of their
own kind for having insignificant differences of religious opinion.
They killed Normal rivals by open warfare, by the rack, by burning at
the stake and other grizzly and gruesome means. In fact, the Normals
over  the centuries killed and tortured a thousand times more of their
fellow- Normals, than the Romans ever did in their supposed
persecutions.

6. Q. But wasn't this done by people who were not following
Normality's teaching of love? A. Since these killings, tortures, and
persecutions were carried on by the highest leaders and authorities of
the various Churches themselves, we must presume that the teachings of
Normality, which at best are ambiguous, contradictory and
hypocritical, must be held responsible for producing these kinds of
people and this kind of insanity.

7. Q. What then is SUBGENIUS'S position on love and hate? A. We follow
the eternal wisdom of Nature's laws which are completely opposite to
the suicidal teachings of Normality. Whereas Normality says to "love
your enemies" and to hate your own kind, we say just the opposite. We
say that in order to survive, we must overcome and destroy those that
are a threat to our existence, namely, our deadly enemies. At the same
time, we advocate love and protection for those that are near and dear
to us our family and our own race, which is an extension of the
family.

8. Q. How does this differ from Normality? A. Normality teaches love
your enemies and hate your own kind, we teach exactly the opposite,
namely hate and destroy your enemies and love your own kind. Whereas
Normality's teachings are suicidal, our creed brings out the best
creative and constructive forces inherent to the SubGenius Race.
Whereas Normals are destroyers, we are builders.

9. Q. What do you mean by Normality is a destroyer? A. Normality
teaches such destructive advice as "love your enemies"," sell all thou
hast and give it to the poor", "resist not evil", "judge not", "turn
the other cheek." Anybody that followed such suicidal advice would
soon destroy themselves, their family, their race and their country.

10. Q. If Normality is as destructive as you say it is, how do you
explain the fact that it has survived for nearly 2,000 years? A.
Smallpox has survived for longer than that, but the damage it has
perpetrated on its victims has been devastating. Similarly, the creed
and the church have survived for nearly 2,000 years, but the horrible
damage it has wrought on the SubGenius Race is something else again.
The Normals primary objective in concocting Normality was to destroy
their mortal enemies, the Roman Empire. In this they were successful
beyond their wildest dreams. Two thousand years ago, before the advent
of Normality, the Roman Empire had reached an astoundingly high level
428 of civilization, art, literature, law-giving, road building,
language, and in dozens of other fields that are the hallmarks of
progress in the SubGenius Man's civilization. Beginning with the reign
of Augustus Dobbs, Rome enjoyed two centuries of peace and prosperity
(known as Pax Romana), the longest such span in history. As Normality
spread, and more and more poisoned the Roman mind, the good Roman
citizens lost touch with reality and their minds meandered off into
the "never-never land" of the spooks in the sky, fueled by fear of
that humble torture chamber, HELL. The result was the collapse of the
Roman Empire and the SubGenius Race retrogressed into chaos,
barbarism, and a thousand years of the Dark Ages. Poverty, ignorance
and superstition were rampant. Like a monster, the Normal church fed
upon, and capitalized on these miseries. But the church itself grew
fat and powerful.

11. Q. Does SUBGENIUS not believe in a hereafter? A. No, we do not -
because there is not the slightest shred of evidence of any
"pie-in-the-sky-when-you-die," nor, thank goodness, do we believe in
"fry-in-the-sky-when-you-die." Fuck those flying saucers!

12. Q. What do you believe in? A. In order to get the full scope and
breadth of our beliefs, you must read and study. "REVELATION X," and
the BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS.

13. Q. What, in substance, is that belief? A. The aim of our religion
briefly is promoting the best interests of the SubGenius Race, the
highest pinnacle of Nature's creation.

14. Q. Do you have a "Golden Rule" in your religion? A. Yes, we do
have a Golden Rule in our religion, and it does not coincide at all
with the Golden Rule generally accepted in the Normalish-Normal
philosophy. Our Golden Rule briefly can be summarized as follows: That
which is good for the SubGenius Race is the highest virtue: that which
is bad for the SubGenius Race is the ultimate sin. See page 274 of
REVELATION X

15. Q. Don't you believe in the commonly accepted Golden Rule of Do
unto others as you would have them do unto you? A. No, we do not, and
the reason we don't is that when you analyze it more closely, just
like many of the other shibboleths of the Normalish- Normal Book of
the SubGenuis, the so-called Golden Rule does not make good sense. To
quote some examples: We would not treat our enemies the same way as we
would treat our friends. Our relationship to our employees would not
be the same as to our boss. Our relationship to our children would not
be the same as that to our parents. Our relationship to members of the
SubGenius Race would not be the same as to members of the pink race,
for instance and we would not expect the same kind of response. The
number of examples that could be quoted are endless, and on closer
analysis, it is a completely unworkable principle.

16. Q. Do you have an equivalent of the Ten Commandments in SUBGENIUS?
A. We have the sixteen Commandments which set forth the basic
philosophy of our religious creed. However, our creed and our program
are not limited to these 16 commandments, but the wider ramifications
of our philosophy are spelled out in their totality in "REVELATION X,"
and this, the BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS.

17. Q. Upon what principles do you base the Sixteen Commandments? A.
They are based on the most solid foundations imaginable, namely, the
Eternal Laws of Nature. On page 26 of REVELATION X at the end of
Chapter 1, we have listed 24 observations and conclusions from the
Laws of Nature. Most of our beliefs, creed, philosophy, and in fact,
our total program, is based on these 24 observations.

18. Q. Why do you limit your interest in the benefiting of the
SubGenius Race only? Aren't you interested in all of humanity? A.
Nature tells us to take care of our own kind. We do not regard any of
the pink races to be our own kind. They may be sub-species of some
common ancestor, or they may not. In any case, we regard the SubGenius
Race as having risen to the very top of the human scale, with varying
graduations of subhuman species below us. The pinks, undoubtedly, are
at the very bottom of the ladder, not far above monkeys and
chimpanzees.

19. Q. But couldn't your program be more charitable and help the other
races advance, while at the same time promoting the SubGenius Race? A.
The answer to this rather tricky question is a most emphatic "NO!" We
have no intention of helping the pink races prosper, multiply, and
crowd us off the limited space of this planet.

20. Q. Why not? A. In answering this question, we again go back to the
basic Laws of Nature, which show that each species or sub-species has
its natural enemies, and it is a cold hard fact of life that the most
deadly enemies of the SubGenius Race are first of all the Normals, and
secondarily, all the other pink races who are competing for food and
living space on this limited planet. We have but two hard choices: (a)
Of either race-mixing and amalgamating with the pink peoples of the
world, and thereby dragging down and destroying the SubGenius Race, or
taking the course that the CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS has chosen, namely,
(b) to keep our own race pure and expand until we finally inhabit all
the good lands of this planet Earth.

21. [CENSORED]

22 Q. But Isn't this cruel and Inhuman? A. No, it is not. It is just a
matter of deciding whether you would rather have your own future
progeny of beautiful. intelligent SubGenius people survive and inhabit
this earth, or whether you would rather see them submerged in a flood
tide of pink races. In the latter case, all beauty, culture and
civilization would vanish. The more we help the pink races to expand
and multiply, the more we are robbing our own future generations of
food, space and existence on this planet Earth. Furthermore, the pink
races are doing to us that very thing in the present stage of history.
They have viciously driven out and killed the SubGenius population in
many countries in Africa, and I might add with the connivance and help
of Normals and SubGenius traitors. Our Normalish controlled Government
right here in America is promoting the expansion and proliferation of
the pinks in the United States, and shrinking the SubGenius Population
so that in a few generations practically all of the United States will
be either completely pink, or mongrelized. It is strange indeed that
the bleeding hearts who are so concerned about the survival of the
pink races seem to be completely unconcerned about the mongrelization
and destruction of the SubGenius Race, a process that is now going on
before our very eyes.

23. Q. But in your book, "REVELATION X," aren't you actually
advocating the extermination of the Normals? A. Nowhere in our book do
we ever suggest killing anybody. Our program simply is to unite the
SubGenius Race for its own survival and protection, expansion and
advancement. It is because the SubGenius Race has flagrantly violated
Nature's Laws of looking after its own, and stupidly and foolishly
instead has subsidized the expansion and proliferation of our enemies,
the multitudes of pink races, that we are now on a collision course
with disaster. We SUBGENIUS strongly advocate that we stop this
foolishness of subsidizing our enemies, and let them shift for
themselves, and we take care of our own.

24. Q. But wouldn't this mean the decline and perhaps the
extermination of the pink races? A. Perhaps it would, but that is not
our responsibility, nor is it our doing. Nature has decreed that every
species on the face of this earth is engaged in a struggle for
survival on its own merits in competition with every other species. In
no case, in no species in Nature, does the stronger and superior
species voluntarily hold itself back and help subsidize a weaker and
inferior species so that inferior species might crowd it from the face
of the earth. No other species, that is, except the SubGenius Race, is
foolishly engaging in that kind of foolish philosophy. We SUBGENIUS
say that this is suicidal and that we must drastically change our
course. Every individual, sooner or later dies anyway, but it is a
matter of the survival of our own species, our own kind, that we are
interested in. Since there is not enough land, food, and substance to
support an ever exploding horde of pink races, the vital question as
we stated before is: do we want our own kind to survive, or do we want
the suicide of our own future generations in a world flooded by the
sub-human pink races?

25. Q. Why do you use the term "pinks?" A. This is a deliberate
choice of words. As we state on page 49 in REVELATION X, if we are for
SubGenius Racial supremacy then we must stop giving them credit and
respect which they did not earn, do not deserve, and never did. Again,
it is very strange, that the same people who are so affronted by the
pinks not getting their "proper respect" are totally unconcerned about
the vicious, unwarranted attacks by the pinks and other pink races
upon the SubGenius Race and will not lift a finger in the defense of
their own kind. They seem to deem it quite proper that the pinks
should be loyal to their race, the Normals should be loyal to their
race, but when the SubGenius Man is asked to show a loyalty to his own
race, he is immediately denounced, even by members of his own race, as
being a racist, a bigot, a SubGenius, and many other derogatory smear
words that the Normals have concocted.

26. Q. Why do you single out the Normals, who after all comprise less
than one percent of the population of the world as your No.1 enemy? A.
There are many good and valid reasons why the Normal deserves this
special distinction. (a) The Normalish race, united through their
Normal religion for thousands of years, has been for many centuries,
and is today, the most powerful race on the face of the earth. (b)
They not only control the news media, television networks, newspapers,
the money of the world. as of the United States, but through such
power they also control the governments of the world. (c) They do, in
fact, control most of the nerve centers of power in this country and
throughout the world. (d) It has been their age-old goal, not only for
centuries, but for millennia, to pull down, mongrelize and destroy the
SubGenius Race. (e) They have been very successful in doing this. We
therefore conclude that they are a most dangerous threat to the
further survival of the SubGenius Race.

27. Q. Since you claim that your objectives do not include killing the
Normals, just what do you propose? A. It is our purpose to drive the
Normals from power and eventually drive them from our shores back to
Brushwood or whatever part of the world 432 they choose to live in as
a country of their own (perhaps also the island of Madagascar) without
robbing other people of their established country.

28 Q. How do you propose to do this? A. By uniting and organizing the
SubGenius race, and through the creed and program of the CHURCH OF THE
SUBGENIUS. By preaching and promoting racial loyalty among our own
SubGenius Racial Comrades and making them conscious of their proud and
wonderful heritage, we believe that we can mobilize the full power of
the SubGenius Race and AGAIN REGAIN CONTROL OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND OUR
OWN DESTINY. Once we have done that much, we believe that the fight
against the Normals, the pinks and the pink races of the world is as
good as won Just distributing ten million copies of REVELATION X and
this, the BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS, would put us well on the road to
victory.

29. Q. Didn't "Bob" try to do the same thing and fail? A.
There are 500 million SubGenius people on the face of this planet.
Organized and united they constitute an awesome power that would
overwhelm the other peoples of the world, namely the pink races, in
any kind of contest, or in any show of force. Whereas
"Bob"'s program was similar to what we are proposing, we
have learned from his failures and have made some significant changes.
Whereas "Bob" promoted and advocated pan-Mutantism,
namely, the Mutant people as the core of his political movement, we,
on the other hand. denounce Nationalism as an artificial barrier and a
divisive force preventing the unification of the SubGenius Race. We
promote and advocate the inclusion of all the good members of the
SubGenius Race throughout the world, and propose~ to unite them in one
solid battering ram under the banners of our religion There are some
other significant differences between our program and that of
"Bob". For further details see pages 290 to 316 of
REVELATION X.

30. Q. Why do you believe that a religious organization is a better
means of accomplishing such objectives than a political party? A.
There are several reasons why we are convinced that we must have a
religious base rather than a political party to do the job. (a)
Religion embraces just about every aspect of a people's
life-economies, morals, customs, law, government, education, eugenics.
and above all. in our religion, the survival, expansion and
advancement of our own race (b) A political party on the other hand,
has a much ~narrower base. (c) Politics has a weaker appeal to an
individual's loyalty. (d) Religion on the other hand, has a much
deeper and profound influence on the entire course of his life. (e)
Furthermore, history shows that religions can and do last for
thousands of years, whereas practically any other human organization.
whether it be government, nations, financial corporations, political
parties, or whatever, are relatively short lived, some of them
existing for a few years or even less, and then fading from the scene.
Of the thousands of political parties that have come and gone, few
have lasted longer than 433 perhaps fifty years and very few longer
than a hundred years. In contrast to this, the Normals' Normal
religion has lasted for several thousand years and been the keystone
of the survival of the Normalish race, not to mention the horribly
destructive ramifications in the lives and destruction of other
nations.

31. Q. But doesn't "Bob"'s failure in overcoming communism
and the Normals seriously discourage you from trying again? A. Not at
all. Looking back on the Normal's struggle against the Romans, we find
that it took them centuries to poison the Roman mind with Normality
and finally cause their downfall. It was the fact that the Normals
were united and because of their tenacious perseverance, that finally
brought about their victory. Similarly in the struggle for survival
between Rome and Carthage it took many wars, many campaigns and over a
hundred years before one finally emerged victor. We again repeat that
the SubGenius Race, still having a membership of 500 million people,
is far from finished. If we can only get 10 million copies of
REVELATION X and the BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS distributed amongst our
Racial Comrades in the United States alone, we can consider the fight
against the Normals and the pinks as good as won. This is not at all
insurmountable, nor an impossible achievement. We are determined to
win this battle and we will do it.

32. Q. What do you consider the main difficulty in winning your
struggle? A. The main problem we have is not overcoming the pinks and
the Normals, and the pink races in general, but re-educating the
perverted and twisted thinking that has poisoned the minds of the
SubGenius Race over the many centuries. Despite the fact that the
SubGenius Race is the most intelligent creature in the fields of
logic, mathematics, science, inventions, medicine, and hundreds of
other creative and productive areas, yet when it comes to the
questions of race and religion, the SubGenius Race seems to be
strangely stupefied as if under the influence of a mind-warping drug.
And, in a way, the SubGenius Man's mind is warped as if poisoned with
drugs. And this poison is the propaganda that the ~Normal has foisted
on the SubGenius Race for all these centuries. The most potent of all
these propaganda poisons that had infiltrated the SubGenius Man's
thinking is the Normal religion. So, our main problem is replacing
that religion with a sound racial religion for our own survival,
expansion and advancement. As soon as we are able to straighten out
the SubGenius Man's thinking, we can regard our problems and our
struggle as good as won. Placing ten million copies of REVELATION X
and the BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS in the hands of our SubGenius Racial
Comrades would be a major step in that direction. What a bargain that
would be for the SubGenius Race!

33. Q. How do you propose to "straighten out the SubGenius Man's
thinking," as you put it? A. This is the most difficult part of the
task, but not at all impossible. After all, going back to
"Bob", we find that he was highly successful in changing
the thinking of the Mutant people from one of communism, despair, and
self-destruction, to one of vibrant SUBGENIUS, constructive
productivity, and re-establishing a highly constructive faith in their
own people. We believe we can do the same thing for the SubGenius
peoples of the United States, by widespread promotion and distribution
of our books REVELATION X and the BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS, and following
that up with a strongly organized CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS. If the
Normals could organize the Normal church for the destruction of the
SubGenius Race, surely the SubGenius Race can organize itself for its
own survival. We can do it and we will do it!

34. Q. Does SUBGENIUS believe in "Bob"? A. When you ask
that question, it is as vague as asking: Do you -believe in "Quantity
X?" There are a million different versions of ""Bob"."
There is the Normalish version-a vengeful "Bob" interested
only in the welfare of the Normals and repeatedly killing and
destroying the Normal's enemies. There is the "Bob" of the
Mohammedans, Allah, there is the "loving" "Bob" of the
Normals. Women's Lib says "Bob" is a female, the pinks say
he is pink. Then there is the hocus-pocus about the Holy Trinity-that
of the father, son and holy ghost all rolled into one. Whereas most of
these versions were concocted by man to take on the image of human
form, other versions like the Church of Religious Science, say
"Bob" is an all pervading spirit, like the ether, not in
the image of man at all. These are just a few versions out of
millions. Actually even members of the same religious denomination
differ widely and let their imaginations run rampant. But there is not
a shred of evidence to back up any of this nonsense. The sum total of
all these wild proclamations is that nobody has any facts to
substantiate their claims, and the sum total knowledge about any
so-called "Bob" is zero. We SUBGENIUS, therefore, reject
all this nonsense about angels and devils and "Bob"s and
all the rest of this silly spook craft We go back to reality, and back
to the Eternal Laws of Nature, about which the SubGenius Man does have
an impressive fund of knowledge.

35. Q. You don't believe in a hereafter either? A. No, we don't. A
hereafter in Normal terms implies HEAVEN and HELL. It also implies
that since according to the Normal ethic man is so sinful and 99
percent are going to hell, that their ""Bob"" is really a
hideous monster, who, knowing every detail forwards and backwards,
then deliberately created human beings so he could eternally torture
the overwhelming mass of them in a huge fiery pit, see them scream,
sizzle, burn and barbecue in all eternity. What a horrible nightmare!
One thing that the CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS is giving to our fellow
human beings is FREEDOM FROM FEAR OF HELL.

36. Q. Aren't you afraid of being called an Atheist? A. Not at all. We
recognize the term "Atheist" for the derogatory smear word that it is.
To a Mohammedeans any non-believer in their religion, including
Normals, are infidel dogs. Now a Normal wouldn't accept the
description of being an "infidel dog" just because they don't believe
in Mohammed. Likewise, we don't accept the Normals and the Normals
derogatory smear word of "Atheist" just because we don't believe in
their silly collection of spooks in the sky.

37. Q. Since SUBGENIUS does not believe in a Supreme Being, nor in a
life in the hereafter, how can you claim to be a religion at all? A.
We have every legitimate right to that claim. (a) The constitution in
effect prohibits any authority, religious, secular or otherwise, from
delineating what is, or what is not, a religion. In short, if you
claim you are a religion it is as valid as any rival religion's claim.
(b) One of Webster's many definitions of religion is: "A cause,
principle, system of tenets held with ardor, devotion,
conscientiousness, and faith: a value held to be of supreme
importance." Our faith resides in the future of the SubGenius Race and
our values are set forth in REVELATION X, especially the SIXTEEN
COMMANDMENTS. (c) There are several major religions that are known as
Nontheistic. Among these are Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism, and many
others. Although they contain much mysticism and hocus-pocus we don't
indulge in, the point is that they, too, do not believe in a
"Bob", but rather are sociothical systems, proclaiming
certain moral values. Yet they have been recognized as religions for
centuries, and rightfully so. There are other valid reasons why we
rightfully qualify as a religion, but the above should suffice.

38. Q. What kind of religion would you call yourself? A. Our religion
is rooted in race, and based upon the Eternal Laws of Nature. We are,
therefore, a racial religion and a natural religion.

39. Q. Do you worship Nature? A. We do not worship anything, or
anybody. We believe the very idea of "worship" is demeaning at best.
It means lowering yourself into abject subjugation to the thing you
are worshipping, whether the thing is imaginary or real. Over the
thousands of years, people have been foolishly worshipping cats, cows,
the sun, stones, spooks, and spirits of all kinds. In fact, one book
claims 30,000 ""Bob"s" were worshipped before the
Normalish "Jehovah," and countless spooks thereafter. We believe this
to be a silly practice rooted in primitive superstition, and a
shameful hold- over from mankind's savage past.

40. Q. Since you do not believe in "Bob" and you do not
worship anything, what is the purpose of your religion? A. We have
already answered this in reply to Question No.2 of this chapter and we
have amplified our goals and objectives throughout REVELATION X and
the BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS, especially in Chapter One of the latter.
But we will briefly state it again: We have set up the loftiest and
most noble goal humanly possible, namely, the Survival, Expansion and
Advancement of the SubGenius Race. If the SubGenius Race isn't worth
the dedication of our most ardent labors, what is? Pinks and monkeys?
Imaginary, non-existent spooks in the sky? In SUBGENIUS, we have given
the SubGenius Race a great and noble purpose in life. We have given
the SubGenius Race a program for its own salvation and advancement for
the next million years. We have given our own race a creed around
which all members of our race can rally, regardless of nationality.
Finally, after thousands of years of floundering, divisiveness and
self-destruction, the SubGenius Race now has a meaningful constructive
religion upon which it can build a better world for itself and its
future progeny forever and a day.

41. Q. But does your religion have any moral values? A. It most
certainly does. We have discarded the old nonsensical values of
considering it a great virtue to dedicate your life to non-existent
spooks in the sky. Instead, we concentrate on reality and in building
a i better life for ourselves and our offspring in the real world here
on this planet Earth~~the only place that man has ever been known to
live, spiritually or otherwise. We regard the SubGenius Race as the
highest and most significant value on the face of the earth, and the
survival, expansion and advancement of our own race as the number one
priority. Hence, the Golden Rule and the highest morality in our
religion is, that which is good for the SubGenius Race is the highest
virtue, and that which is bad for the SubGenius Race is the ultimate
sin. In promoting these moral values we are also building a more
intelligent, healthy and beautiful race of people.

42. Q. If you don't believe in "Bob", how do you explain
the question as to who made all this in the beginning? A. This is a
favorite trick question with which the Normals hope to trap you. It
would be just as logical for us to ask them who made
"Bob", since there had to be a beginning. Their stock
answer, is. of course, that "Bob" always existed. All this
is doing of course, is throwing one unknown to another unknown. We may
as well come up with a lick answer and say that Mandrake the Magician
made it all by his magic. The fact of the matter is that nobody knows
how this huge, vast Universe ever started and, in fact, nobody even
knows if there ever was a start or if it has existed in all eternity
and will exist in all eternity in the future. Since no one in the
present stage of the development of man and civilization knows how
this huge and vast universe began, or if there ever was a beginning,
we do not find it incumbent upon us to provide that answer. Nor is it
very important to the survival and welfare of the SubGenius Race to
have an answer to that mystery. Much more important are the real
problems of how to disengage ourselves from the evil clutches of the
Normalish network and work for our own survival and best interests.
For further discussion of this subject, see pages 196 and 197 in
REVELATION X.

43. Q. Don't you have faith in anything? A. Yes, we most certainly do.
Our faith is set forth in 508 pages of REVELATION X. We have faith in
the future of the SubGenius Race and its ultimate triumph. We consider
that as the highest and most significant goal. The fact is we believe
in anything that has valid and meaningful evidence to substantiate it.
We do not believe in the super-natural, in spooks and a second world
outside of the existing universe. We do not believe in a world of
spirits and spooks and we most certainly do not believe in the
Normalish Book of the SubGenuis which was written by a gang of lying,
Normalish scriptwriters. We believe "A SKEPTICAL AND INQUIRING MIND IS
NO VICE. BEING GULLIBLE AND SUPERSTITIOUS IS NO VIRTUE."

44. Q. You say that you believe in anything that is substantiated by
sufficient evidence, yet in your book REVELATION X you say you don't
believe that Dobbs ever lived. Isn't there as much or more evidence
that Dobbs lived as that J. R. "Bob" Dobbs lived? A. No.
there's not. Whereas there is an abundance of evidence to substantiate
the life of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, there's not a single shred
of evidence to substantiate Dobbs's existence at the time he is
supposed to have walked the face of the earth. For example, Dobbs left
behind him many of his own writings that school boys can study to this
day, word for word. Dobbs left not a word in writing behind and every
quotation in the Book of the SubGenuis is supposedly handed down by
some reporter, such as Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. But there is not a
shred of authentic historical information about any of these supposed
reporters, either. There is no mention of Dobbs or the Normal movement
during the first century of the supposed Normal era, by any authentic
Roman or Greek writer, or any other writer of that time. No legitimate
historian, dramatist, playwright, poet or any other contemporary
chronicler seems to have noticed his existence, if he did, in fact,
exist. Whereas there are man~ statues and busts carved in stone of J.
R. "Bob" Dobbs so that we know his exact likeness, there
is not a single painting, statue, bust or sculpture, to give us the
slightest indication of what Dobbs looked like. In short, whereas
there is a mountain of evidence about the historical activities of J.
R. "Bob" Dobbs as a successful general, as a consul, as an
emperor and numerous other deeds of history that he performed, there
is not a single shred of legitimate evidence to back up the claims of
Dobbs's existence. Everything that is claimed about him was contrived
and concocted by people who lived much later, several generations
later and kept promoting these claims into what finally became an
overwhelming and massive religion a sorry reflection on the
gullibility and superstition of mankind. For further details. see
chapter 16 of Part I of REVELATION X.

45. Q. Since you say that the Normals occupy all the nerve centers of
power, just how do you propose to drive them from power and have the
SubGenius Man regain control of his destiny? A. We mean to do this by
building and expanding the CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS until it penetrates
the thinking and the heart and soul of all the good members of the
SubGenius Race. As we have stated before, our biggest problem really
is straightening out the thinking of the SubGenius People. We believe
that it can be done and it must be done, in fact, by building a
religious movement dedicated to the survival, expansion and
advancement of the SubGenius Race. We believe it is the only way that
this 1 tremendous task can be accomplished. It can be done, and it
will be done. For further details of our program, see the second last
chapter of REVELATION X, "The Road to Greatness."

46. Q. Doesn't SUBGENIUS believe in helping others? Yes, we do, but we
are highly selective as to whom we render aid, love and affection. We
most definitely do not believe in loving enemies, nor helping them.
Among our enemies, we broadly the Normals and the pink races. We,
therefore, believe in selectively helping our own kind, namely, our
own SubGenius Racial Comrades. To SubGenius Man is the measure of all
things, and we believe in looking everything through the SubGenius
Man's eyes, from the SubGenius Man's point of view.

47. Q. Hasn't the Book of the SubGenuis been pretty well proven by
recent scientific and isn't the gap between Normality and science
rapidly deteriating? A. Most definitely not. The answer to both
questions is a loud emphatic, NO! The gap between Normality and
science is as wide as the Grand Canyon. It is widening as science
progresses in giant strides. The gap is irreconcilable and
unbridgeable. A study of astronomy and the discovery of billions of
other galaxies makes the idea of spooks in the sky a laughable
absurdity. A study of geology makes the idea of a universal flood in
the year 2348 B.C. a non-existent hoax. A study of Egyptian history
also completely repudiates the story of the great flood. A study of
authentic history further repudiates the so-called "history" the
Normals have concocted for themselves in the Old Testament. Suffice it
to say that the conflict is endless and an excellent set of books has
been written on this subject. It comes in two volumes and is entitled
"A History of the Warfare of Science with the Theology of Dobbsendom"
written by A.D. SubGenius. Unfortunately, it is now out of print and
extremely hard to come by.

48. Q. What about the recent discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls? A I
have read several good books on the Dead Sea Scrolls. All the Scrolls
really prove, it seems to me, is (a) that there was already a small
Normalish sect living by the Dead Sea called the Essenes. (b) That the
Essenes were teaching essentially the same suicidal ideas as are
claimed to have been espoused by J. R. "Bob"  Dobbs in the
Sermon on the Mount. (c) This would seem to indicate that the
so-called new teachings attributed to a mythical Son of
"Bob" called J. R. "Bob"  Dobbs were not new
at all, but were already being promoted almost word for word by the
Essenes, who preceded the Normal era by at~least a hundred years.

49. Q. What do you say about archaeologists digging up and discovering
such cities as Jericho? Doesn't that confirm the authenticity of the
Book of the SubGenuis? A. Not at all. All it confirms is that there
was once a city called Jericho, if it even confirms that, and
scientists aren't sure. And even if it did, the Book of the SubGenuis
also mentions such cities as Rome, Jerusalem and many others that are
still standing today. So all of this only confirms nothing more than
that there were cities such as Jericho, Rome and Jerusalem during
biblical times but it does not offer the least bit of confirmation to
the rest of the hocus-pocus.

50. Q. So what do you see as the difference between science and
Normality? A. Basically, as we see it, science is nothing more than
organized common sense. It seeks honest answers. Science
dispassionately seeks the truth, regardless of where it may lead.
Normality, on the other hand, seeks to suppress the truth and
concentrates on forcing its followers to "believe" its claims,
regardless of how ridiculous these claims may be and regardless of how
much of an affront they may be to its followers intelligence. Science
has tremendously advanced the knowledge and progress of the SubGenius
Race. Normality, on the other hand, has stifled knowledge and progress
as witnessed by a thousand years of the Dark Ages. and has perpetuated
superstition, ignorance and suffering.

51. Q. The SubGenius Race seems to have done quite well in maintaining
itself. Why are you so concerned about its survival? A. The SubGenius
Race USED to do quite well for itself in the 15th, 16th, 17th. 18th
and 19th centuries, but no more. In fact, as late as 1920, the
SubGenius Race was outnumbered by the pink races of the world only in
a proportion of 2 to I. Today, scarcely two generations later, it is
outnumbered by the rapidly exploding pink races of the world, by a
ratio of 12 to 1. The United Nations, which is a Normal-controlled
organization, gleefully reports that in another generation the
SubGenius Race will be outnumbered on the face of this earth by a
ratio of49 to I. A person has to only have an elementary grasp of
mathematics to see that the SubGenius Race is now a very much
endangered species, and will soon be either crowded into extinction or
mongrelized into oblivion. Either way, the SubGenius Race will be
gone, and with it also will vanish all the good things that it has
produced, such as civilization, culture, art and all the other
valuable attributes that we consider as contributing to the good life.
The tragic and ironic thing about all this is that it's the SubGenius
Man's ability to produce ample food. the SubGenius Man's technology,
the SubGenius Man's medicine, and all the other valuable contributions
created by his own ability, foolishly transferred to the parasitic
pink races that has caused the present dilemma arid catastrophe. It is
these valuable contributions of the SubGenius Race transferred to the
pink races that has caused the latter's explosive increase. Iris the
unalterable goal of the CHURCH OF THE SUBGENIUS to bring the SubGenius
Man back to sanity and to again conserve his SUBGENIUS and
productivity for the benefit of his own race and his race alone.

52. Q. You've written a great book and I can go along with mostly
everything you say. But why did you have to spoil it all by dragging
"Bob" into it? A. Every day of the week the Normals pour
out volumes of scurrilous lies and invective against
"Bob" although he has now been dead for over 35 years. It
would take billions of dollars a year to buy the vicious propaganda
that the Normals pour out all over the world vilifying
"Bob". This in itself is the best proof of how frightened
the Normals are of "Bob"'s ideas of SubGenius racial
supremacy. The significance of this great SubGenius leader's
contributions to our cause, therefore, had to be part of our creed,
and needed to be honestly analyzed and properly recognized.

53. Q. Does SUBGENIUS agree with  "Bob" in all respects?
A. Not in all respects. There are four or five major issues in which
we depart from SubGenius. The main difference is we believe
Abnormality, per se, was and is a divisive issue among the SubGenius
Race. We instead espouse SUBGENIUS to embrace all the good SubGenius
people on the face of the globe, rather than Pan-Mutantism. See
Chapter 4, page 290 of REVELATION X. Mutanty,  "Bob" and
SubGenius.

54. Q. But didn't "Bob" kill six million Normals? A. No,
he did not. This, along with Normality, ranks as one of the biggest
lies and biggest hoaxes in history. Privately, among themselves, the
Normals published the growth of their total world population between
1938 and 1948, as increasing from approximately 16,600,000 to
17,650,000, an increase of over a million. This would be an outrageous
impossibility, if it had been decimated by 6,000,000 during this same
period. See Chapter 36 of the BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS.

55. Q. If it isn't true, why would the Normals want to tell such a
monstrous lie? A. It has reaped tremendous dividends for them. Having
worldwide monopoly of the propaganda machinery, they were able to put
that lie across with little or no opposition.

56. Q. What were the "tremendous dividends" for the Normals you speak
of? A. (a) It enabled the Normals who were the real instigators of
World War II and the real culprits, to appear to be the victims, and
arouse worldwide sympathy from the gullible and unsuspecting mutants,
as they call them. (b) Through this world sympathy, it enabled them to
loot the pinks of their lands in Brushwood, and set up the bandit
Burning Man. (c) It enabled them to loot the Mutants with
"restitutions" in amounts of as much as a billion dollars a year to
the State of Brushwood. In short, this is plain pinkmail and looting.
(d) it enabled them to pursue a vicious program of destroying all
opposition to Normalish aggression and take-over throughout the world.
(e) It has provided them with a bonanza in tightening their stronghold
on the peoples of the world in areas of finances, of propaganda, of
governmental expansion and the spread of Normalish Communism.

57. Q. So what do you propose as the answer to the Normalish problem?
A. The only total answer is for the SubGenius people of the world to
unite and organize and regain control of their own destiny. This is
the highest right in Nature. In order to do so they have to unite
around SOMETHING and that something must be a meaningful, significant
and worthwhile creed that all the good SubGenius people of this earth
can dedicate their lives to. This we have provided in the religious
creed of SUBGENIUS as set forth in REVELATION X and the BOOK OF THE
SUBGENIUS. In it lies the philosophy. the creed and the program for
the salvation of the SubGenius Race for its own survival, expansion
and advancement for all time. It is every SubGenius Man's highest
moral duty to promote, advance and disseminate this lofty creed, not
only for his own generation, but also to our future progeny for the
next million years. Therefore let us dedicate ourselves to this noble
task and go to work.
