Bokonon Bible

The Bokonon Bible is a fictional religious text from Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Cat's Cradle." It satirizes organized religion by presenting a humorous, paradoxical set of beliefs and practices. Bokononism promotes accepting life's inherent absurdities through phrases called "karass" and "foma," emphasizing love, community, and the importance of fiction in coping with reality. The book functions as social commentary, highlighting human folly and the ways people create meaning, often undermining traditional religious structures, all within a fictional context meant to provoke thought rather than serve as an actual spiritual guide.
