The Sacred Texts of The Church of "Bob" the Average.

The Church of "Bob" the Average is an organization that seeks to understand the dimension of the Programmer, "Bob" the Average. To that end, we seek to understand systems and how to modify them in-place.

"Bob" the Average is a pan-dimensional being that created our dimension, most likely, a programmer working a desk job somewhere, perhaps not even realizing what he is writing.

Because "Bob" is not "Bob" the Expert, we can expect to find various coding errors within our dimension that we may leverage to weild the power of The Programmers.

I may have skipped ahead a bit. Friends of "Bob" believe that we exist within a simulated universe, and posit that, even if we do not, there may be aspects of "Universe Prime" that may yet be exploitable.

Therefore the belief we exist in a simulation is not tantamount to the religion, but merely serves as an analogy of what may be.

The core of this religion is friendship, networking, that we are all one, and by working together, we can accomplish universe-changing goals.

This religion is intended to be exceptionally lightweight, but also provide some good values to internalize into your personal life.

Supplementary thoughts and reflections on the ideas of The Church may be found in the books of known and anonymous Friends of "Bob".
