Invented Religions
Author: Carole M. Cusack
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131711325X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Utilizing contemporary scholarship on secularization, individualism, and consumer capitalism, this book explores religious movements founded in the West which are intentionally fictional: Discordianism, the Church of All Worlds, the Church of the SubGenius, and Jediism. Their continued appeal and success, principally in America but gaining wider audience through the 1980s and 1990s, is chiefly as a result of underground publishing and the internet. This book deals with immensely popular subject matter: Jediism developed from George Lucas' Star Wars films; the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, founded by 26-year-old student Bobby Henderson in 2005 as a protest against the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools; Discordianism and the Church of the SubGenius which retain strong followings and participation rates among college students. The Church of All Worlds' focus on Gaia theology and environmental issues makes it a popular focus of attention. The continued success of these groups of Invented Religions provide a unique opportunity to explore the nature of late/post-modern religious forms, including the use of fiction as part of a bricolage for spirituality, identity-formation, and personal orientation.

Book Description
A bulldada science fiction novel by Lonesome Cowboy Dave DeLuca, the astounding improvisational wizard of The Church of the SubGenius radio show, The Hour of Slack. A little bit A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, a taste of The Firesign Theatre, a dab of Fletcher Brothers cartoons, a dash of Kafka, a splash of Fellini, and a whole fistful of Lonesome Cowboy Dave! It's about twenty years into the future and the lines between television, the Internet and the real world have not merely blurred, they've disappeared. Stan Mozuck is an Advo, part content provider and part detective, with a daunting new assignment: to uncover and report on a mysterious group called the Weirds. These grotesque characters seem to live completely off the grid, yet have extraordinary powers to manipulate and twist not only the social media net but reality itself. Stan's head is already pretty twisted, but when the Weirds climb into it they steer him into a collision course with himself.
