Insulting language

Labeling the Church of the SubGenius a "parody-religion" is an insulting term towards members. SubGenius doctrine has been practiced for nearly 40 years by it's adherents, longer for those that have studied it before the Church's official creation. This slanderous wording should be made NEUTRAL and it should be listed as a RELIGION. It is just as valid as Christianity, Islam or Scientology and to dismiss it is a flagrant disregard for neutrality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthbomb427 (talk • contribs) 05:49, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's an obvious joke, like the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" that seems to have usurped it in popularity. 2A00:23C5:FE18:2701:4CBF:36F0:9F51:8CEC (talk) 15:40, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Large number of unaddressed cleanup tags. Doesn't seem to meet criterion #4, due to the number of weasel words. DrowssapSMM 02:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
