Bokononism is a religion created by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s character, Bokonon, in the book, Cat's Cradle.

While it is only fictional and I doubt anyone actually follows any of it except for hardcore crazy fans, it's very interesting to learn about.

I'm not going to get into it in this startup post because there's soooooooooo much to it and to only put a bit of it here without the whole picture would be pointless.

So...

Go to this web-site to read up on it and see what you think.

I'm reviving this because I am sick of the other debates.

But all I have to add is this...

"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way."

So far its brilliant.

a friend of mine says that the screwtape letters will blow your mind but I've never heard of this book is it a good read?

I'm reading this book now. I am still only at the begining but I must say it is truly amazing.

He's like my favorite author of all time.

Ha! I knew the sounded familiar when I saw the thread title.

Vonegeut is such a kook, I love it. Haha.
