An answer to James Wood ...

... Theodicy and the Narrow Escape Syndrome. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I think Wood is a serious person and might well find this interesting. Amazing how many people lose their faith because of how it was taught to them while they were growing. I was very lucky in this respect. Those who teach children about religion would do well to remember the advice of my patron saint: "Preach the Gospel always. If necessary, use words."
