“Even as a child I was obsessed with four things,” he said in a David Letterman interview. “Monster movies, strange girls, a crude concept of pure physical Slack, and an unrelenting disinterest in everything normal. “Bob” Dobbs’ Church of the SubGenius seemed to me to offer the perfect combination of all three.”

Reverend Crawford
Joining forces with his college buddies, J.R. “Bob” Dobbs, Ivan Stang, and L. Ron Hubbard, Philo created the world’s first industrial religion, the Church of Scientific Algorithms. The church went nowhere fast by making enemies of the press, the government, everyone they met, and was hounded by the FBI, CIA, SEC, ROTC and several other quasi-governmental acronymic agencies. Soon, at Philo’s incessant urging, L. Ron was finally forced out and then everything changed for the better. Under Philo’s seemingly inspired guidance, The Church of the SubGenius and its PR arm, the SubGenius Foundation, was formed, with “Bob” as the figurehead, and managed by the reknowned Wall Street financial guru, Ivan Stang, and the rest is history.
