TRTR(1) Eye Goddesses Wearing Dipthongs

[Mark Kohut]

Talk about 'chance' or historical contingency........

Gaddis lays down an incredible example to link
the Christian religion to....a dipthong interpretation
at the Council of Nicea......

and in 'another turn of the screw' lays down how
this either-or choice in Christian history --------

"(no one gave them a chance at hetero---")

Jesus H. Christ.....a BIG Pynchon theme whereas
Gaddis seems to play this for contingency then
the institutionaliszation of anti-sex, anti-pleasure,
madness-inducing leaders within Christianity, yes?

"They chose Homoiousian, of like substance, as a happier word than its
tubular alternative (no one gave them a chance at Heteroousian), and
were forthwith put into quiet dungeons which proved such havens of
self-indulgence, unfurnished with any means of vexing the natural
processes, that they died of very shame, unable even to summon such
pornographic phantasms as had kept Saint Anthony rattling in the
desert (for to tell the truth none of these excellent fellows knew for
certain what a woman looked like, and each could, without divinely
inspired effort, banish that image enhanced by centuries of currency
among them, in which She watched All with inflamed eyes fixed in the
substantial antennae on her chest)." (pp. 9-10)

(Also continues the theme of duplication vs. originality in the early
church controversy over the relationship between the substance of God
the Father and God the Son.)
