Hello, since /lit/ love religious criticism and Nietzsche so much I thought I'd let everyone know that within the book 'Gravity's Rainbow' there is an episode where Pynchon leads off with an excerpt from the Gospel of Thomas, then proceeds to illustrate one of the greatest social criticisms I've ever seen. It is honestly similar, in some ways to a lot of Nietzschean philosophy in how it tackles religion, good/evil, and esoteric group morality.

Has anyone else read this episode? This was bar none, one of the greatest things I've ever read.
