Father Fundament who is not holding a weapon.

Father Fundament, born either FunDam Mental Father or Fundamental Father, is a traveling priest of the Church of the SubGenius.

Early life[]

Fundament was born the son of Father Floyd Flanagan and Mother Mary of the Church of the SubGenius. His mother wasn't there. Fundament was born in the submarine USS Dolphin (SS-23) during the Resistance War against America to Save the Nation. Women weren't allowed on military submarines then. So while Father Flanagan was present, Mother Mary wasn't notified of the birth until 9 months later.

According to his older brother and sister, Fundament was born an only child. With no to play with, he grew up with traditional boy toys of the time. These included the M3 fighting knife, a Montagnards Crossbow, and, when a baby, a FN Baby Browning pistol.

Vision[]

On his 19th birthday, Fundament had a vision while visiting the Glen Roseola Church crochet club called the Holy House of Hookers. He gave up his dream to become King of Crochet, and instead became a Father. Which meant remaining pure and holy and having no close connect with crocheters or other hookers. Except to witness to them as much as possible.

School for Girls[]

Fundament was moved by the plight of youth. In Glen Roseola, he assisted Sister Hooter in the founding of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception School for Unwed Mothers. The Bishop of Glen Roseola had misgivings, but endorsed Fundament's experiment of housing and education. The school grew to be a large community with its own girl-mayor, school, chapel, post office, cottages, gymnasium, and birth facilities. Fundament and Hooter did not believe in the reform school model, which they thought too punitive, and stated, "there's no such thing as a bad girl".
