The Church is known for blatant appeals for money from believers and non-believers alike. The Church is incorporated as a profit-making enterprise, and declares itself to be "the only religion that is proud to pay its taxes." Anyone can become an ordained SubGenius minister by paying a fee of $30 US for a lifetime membership. No other requirement is laid upon prospective members, though the cost of ordainment separates the Church from the Universal Life Church and other paper churches that offer ordination to all comers. The Church of the SubGenius is known for a standing offer that stems from the ordainment fee: "Eternal Salvation or TRIPLE Your Money Back!"

I think it's a funny spoof of religion. Sometimes humor is the best way to enlighten people.

lol that chruch is just a joke man, it even says on both of the sources you sited. Like literally, a joke, it's not meant to be taken literally. kinda like savetoby.com, the site where that kid threatened to eat his pet bunny if people didn't pay him $40000 or something. and he got a lot of money!

History is full of mockers and slanderers and people who hate God, just know that in the end we all give an answer for what we have done. there are some people I'm really glad I'm not.
