                                                 "Lingo and Theory of Bokonsim"

     When i was reading through the book i had to laugh when i came across some of the Bokonist religious terms. I just thought i wouls share some with you. Bokonism is a kind of Stoic accepting religion, and it exist only becasue it is illegal. Any members of the Bokonist faith are stuck upon "The Hook". It is an ever evolving religion because Bokon writes more of it each day. It relies on the concept of human tenacity and that during persecution religions often tend to grow stronger.

Pool-pah= the wrath or God, or as john describes it "shit storm.

Stuppa= a meathead, or nonbeliver in Bokonism

Vin dit= a divinely influenced happening meant to influence your belife in Bokonism.

Sin-wat= a selfish person, especially in terms of a lover.

Boko-maru= this is Bokonism's version of "spiritual sex". It happens when two people remove their shoes and socks and join the soles of their feet together.

Karass= a group of people who are intercnnected for a specific purpose, but often are not aware of it.

Foma= a large group of falsehoods designed to make somone feel better.

       Bokon was the perfect example of the hypocritical prophet. He preached lies to simply make the peoples lives better , but after the death of Papa he no longer had a purpose, so he died. He was a strange character but he illustrated very well the authors point of how interconnected religion/science/ society all are. Without one of these the others will eventually fall apart.
