223: The Book of the SubGenius : The Sacred Teachings of J.R. 'Bob' Dobbs

The Book of the SubGenius : The Sacred Teachings of J.R. 'Bob' Dobbs

From the book description:

"Sometimes a book goes too far. Sometimes is... now. First, there was The Gilgamesh. Then... the Bhagavad-Gita Then... the Torah, the New Testament, the Koran Then... the Book of Mormon, Dianetics, I'm OK You're OK. And now...The Book of the Subgenius (How to Prosper in the Coming Weird Times)."


Why this is progressive/liberal: From Voltaire to Richard Dawkins liberals and progressives have been critical of religion. The Book of the SubGenius unflinchingly embraces everything weird and odd about faith and mixes it together with abundant dollops of absurdity and surrealism. More than a parody, it's a way of life. Praise Bob.
