The Church of Tina Chopp had its beginnings in a college dormitory between the end of 1980 and the beginning of 1981. Nobody bothered to keep track exactly when or why, but at that time, The Prophets of Tina were bored and lacking inspiration. The story goes that there was a highly convoluted discussion concerning semantics and religion, but there has never been any substantial proof of that.

     There are many rumours concerning the origins of the Church. By far, the most common story is that Tina Chopp was the object of some college student's unrequited lust. This story, while amusing and extremely prevalent, is entirely false.
