The SubGenius code has one positive instruction and a long list of negatives that follow from it. Pursue Slack; refuse the Conspiracy; do not mistake its approval for your own; do not become normal. Ordination costs a published fee and confers the right to preach all of this to other people, which several thousand ministers do. The church has no discipline, no excommunication and no way of removing anyone, and it has never claimed the authority to. Where the code has bitten is from outside: in February 2006 a New York family court judge removed Rachel Bevilacqua's son from her custody after being shown photographs of her at an X-Day performance. The case ran nearly four years and ended with custody restored, on condition that SubGenius materials be kept out of the home.
