Boskeism: Canon #9: Relativity in Context
http://boskeism.blogspot.com/2008/06/canon-9-relativity-in-context.html
The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Friday, June 13, 2008. Canon #9: Relativity in Context. Suppose you and I are having a conversation at a restaurant, sitting across from one another. We are experiencing completely different contexts. Is he trying to hide his true feelings with the joking attitude? He's been buying me drinks. Is he trying to get me drunk? This is why "relativity in context" is a canon. No two people experience the same situation in the same w...

Boskeism: Ad hominem
http://boskeism.blogspot.com/2008/07/ad-hominem.html
The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Monday, July 14, 2008. Many of the posts going forward will be shorter, as I describe the various false means of arguing that you will often find politicians and Fox news use, and of course the exceptions associated with them. Today we discuss the argument tactic. Which is among the top sins for a proponent of Boskeism. What is ad hominem? Ad hominem is when, rather than attacking the merits of a position, you attack the person.

Boskeism: Canon #4: Science
http://boskeism.blogspot.com/2008/02/canon-4-science.html
The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Wednesday, March 5, 2008. As a follower of Boskeism, one must have a belief that science is the way to true enlightenment. How can science provide enlightenment? After all, she blinded ME with science! Science provides enlightenment because science gets to the bottom of things. Science provides theories based on rational ideas and tests them. Science is not afraid to change if evidence is to the contrary. A correlation is created...

Boskeism: Canon #3: Social Animals
http://boskeism.blogspot.com/2008/02/tenet-3-social-animals.html
The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Wednesday, February 6, 2008. Canon #3: Social Animals. Sounds sexist, huh? Look around, and you see it going on everywhere. Men are always trying to one-up each other, even in story telling. They do not engage in this with women unless they see the woman as a challenger (not a challenge, a challenger). The more you watch the interactions of humans around you (correcting for behavior modification), the more you see this happening.

The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Tuesday, February 5, 2008. Naturalism is the belief that free will is the equivalent of luck. what this means is that a person doesn't choose anything. Instead, a person does what he does solely based on his genetics and external forces. Even something as inane as calling heads or picking left or right is predetermined. Posted by Jason Boskey.

Boskeism: Canon #7: Theorize
http://boskeism.blogspot.com/2008/02/canon-7-theorize.html
The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Wednesday, June 4, 2008. So to this point, the first three canons deal with the postulates that govern the thinking (Naturalism, Agnostic, and Social Animals). The next three dealt with how to gather information (Science, Interpretation, and Questioning). The next two try to synthesize these, for what's the use of having these bases without using them? Posted by Jason Boskey. After reading your blog I thought about camera work an...

Boskeism: Canon #10: Relativity in Morality
http://boskeism.blogspot.com/2008/06/canon-10-relativity-in-morality.html
The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. Canon #10: Relativity in Morality. I'd like to start this with the Judeo-Christian 10 Commandments, along with a little commentary. Thou shalt have no gods before me (but I can put other things above your teachings). Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (though we do love our pictures of Jesus). Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain (except when proclaiming what God thinks). Moral absolut...

Boskeism: January 2009
http://boskeism.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Monday, January 12, 2009. It's been almost 6 months, but I return. I am looking for others who are willing to help me develop the writings of this "religion." Remember, I call it a religion because most of what is discussed here, especially the idea of Naturalism, are philosophical and nature and cannot be proven. Thus they have to be taken on faith. On to the show:. An example of such a thing would be. Just in the present. Contr...

Boskeism: Questions from the Great Diane
http://boskeism.blogspot.com/2008/06/questions-from-great-diane.html
The religion and philosophy of Reverend Jason Boskey, Mystical Philosopher. Thursday, June 19, 2008. Questions from the Great Diane. Diane, who is kind enough to read this blog (or these writings, if you want to be archaic), submitted some questions following the 9th Canon ( Relativity in Context. I would have answered them in the Comments section where she submitted them, but I can't see the question from the comment box. And thank you to Diane for submitting the questions! I’d like to say “...Also, why...
