jbor:
"Many people do say and believe that the various Christian versions of death
and salvation are true, and I think it's important to accept that fact and
to respect their beliefs. As I said originally, I don't see the passage as
being critical of either the soldiers or the chaplains."

jbor:
"I think we can mostly agree that organised religion cops a bad rap in
Pynchon's work, irrespective of
personal beliefs."

Terrance:
An example?

jbor:
"Sure. Christian chaplains, "working for the army", preaching about
salvation
and redemption and sending soldiers out to their deaths. It's grotesque."
