I want to thank you all for responding. I think you all need to be saved,
but don't we all? We are all sinners in the eyes of God. But I have promised
to keep my posts on topic, which is Mr. Pynchon and his works. And if in the
process I can help some of you find your way to salvation, all the better.

I have studied this Pynchon phenomenon, as it is called, for several days
now, and I know a lot about it. I have also been listening to the dreaded
Howard Stern, and watching the Simpsons. Yes, I have done my homework and
will continue to do so regardless of how offensive it is to one's
sensibilities. I feel not unlike Daniel in the lion's den. I will work for
the Lord in the darkest corners.

Some of you, well probably all of you, are familiar with the sixteenth
season of the Simpsons (I found it on the google). Mr. Pynchon took it upon
himself to make one of his infrequent public appearances there, well, at
least his voice and as a cartoon character with a bag over his head. I mean,
can  you believe it, he is so afraid of exposure that his cartoon
representation had its/his face obscured. He needs help and we should all
pray for him.

But at least he was there. This is so very significant because the Simpsons
is actually a Christian work. And as for Howard Stern, well, as they say,
keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Mr. Stern, the
self-professed King of Media, is the worst, but I will not run from him. I
will confront his depravity and maybe, just maybe, I can help him and his
millions of satellite fans find The Way.

I have to read more. The Gravity book is not the easiest thing I've tried to
read, but I know I can do it because I have the Good Book as my guide. I
know that we all can find Christ in The Phychon Phenomenon, as Mr. Pynchon
himself has done when he appeared on the Simpsons.

Remember that the Lord loves you. He loves Mr. Pynchon for participating in
the Christian Simpsons show. we all wish you a Merry Christmas, even to Jews
(Christ was one!), Muslims, Buddhists, transcendentalistis, pantheists,
agnostics, atheists, communists and so on. We are all God's people.
