Random: Came across this article in a free street magazine, called Stu. In this issue, they had a 5-page article on select cults in the world today. Man! Did they have some really bizzare ones! One of which was this one, it's an excerpt from the article "C is for Cults":

CHURCH OF THE SUB GENIUS
They worship Bob (a pipe-smoking handyman considered to be the best drill-bit salesman of all time), and the Church offers "eternal salvation or triple your money back." By sending $30, anyone can become an ordained SubGenius minister; and should a minister die and find themselves standing at the gates of Hell, the Church claims that person will personally be greeted by Bob himself. Bob will then hand over a cheque for $90, along with a handbook entitled "How To Enjoy Hell On Five Cents a Day", which costs $89.95.

Don't know about you, but that's majorly weird stuff! Thankfully, we have the Word that says:
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9). It's definately only by grace. I know my God has called me to be a champion, a conqueror, not some weird sub-nothing. umm, yeah, just being random :) hahaha...

Thank You, Lord for calling me Your child!

Gosh is that weIrRdDd...
Who would fall for this kinda thing? Imagine how hopeless can one be that they rather risk meeting Bob than to have faith in going to Heaven!
Huh?? What's the world becoming? Stupid or what?
