From the religion's website... "Pity the poor human Earth Pink who comes looking for a SIMPLE, SHORT EXPLANATION of The Church of the SubGenius™, one that he or she can UNDERSTAND QUICKLY. If the Church could provide THAT, it would be bigger than Islam or Christianity by now -- and probably much, much worse."
"REPENT! QUIT YOUR JOB! SLACK OFF!"

Church of Emacs (and the Church of Vi)

Smst.Ignucius

The Church of Emacs, formed by Richard Stallman, is a joke, and while it refers to vi as the "editor of the beast" (vi-vi-vi being 6-6-6 in Roman numerals) , it does not oppose the use of vi; rather, it calls proprietary software an anathema. ("Using a free-software version of vi is not a sin; it is a penance."[2]) It has its own newsgroup, alt.religion.emacs, that has posts purporting to support this parody religion.
