These folks are fans of a group of books written by Rev. Ivan Stang
AKA Doug. The books are listed as "humor/entertainment" but they are
about a cult with a god they call "Bob" and many people visit
alt.slack daily, posting stuff they think is interesting -- lots of
rudeness, lots of wackiness, lots of laughs -- they laugh at religion
mostly and they pick on everybody, if you think you're up for it... =)
