A Good and Loving God Wouldn’t Allow X

My Real Clear Religion deputy Nicholas G. Hahn III just called me to say that it was my turn to do the weekend update. I was nearly inconsolable.

“Nick,” I asked him, “how can a good and loving God stick me with the weekend update?”

“I don’t know,” he said, “but it’s your turn.”

Obviously, he’s never heard of theodicy. Or guilt trips.
