The Church was supposedly founded after "Reverend" Chris Korda encountered an alien intelligence known as The Being that told her that the planet's ecosystem was failing and that to save the planet, the population needed to be reduced. The Church seeks to promote this aim peacefully through the Four Pillars: abortion, suicide, sodomy (defined as all sex acts that do not result in procreation) and [[cannibalism]] of dead bodies for anyone not a vegetarian. Its founding principle is "Thou Shalt not Procreate".

Following the [[September 11 attacks]], the Church posted a four-minute video entitled ''I Like to Watch'' combining the destruction of the World Trade Centre with hardcore porn and video footage of a man masturbating. It has also expressed support for eco-terrorist [[Ted Kaczynski]] and has given instructions on how to commit suicide (although this was removed in 2003 after legal actions were threatened in Missouri because of an actual suicide).
