Yesterday I critiqued the God Squad’s inane answer to a reader’s question about the problem of evil and free will. To my great astonishment, last night I discovered that the question had been submitted to their nationally syndicated column by none other than my friend Under No Circumstances — the fellow blogging biomedical grad student/potential neuroscience Ph.D candidate who co-interviewed Sam Harris with me last year. Posing as “C” — the nefarious, atheistic third letter of the alphabet — she e-mailed them the query at the end of January.
In a post I missed, UNC reproduced the full text of the question in her blog at the time she sent it to the Squad. Yesterday she dissected their response. As she notes, it’s interesting to consider arguments they edited out of her question to suit their agenda. You might also compare my analysis to hers, keeping in mind I had no knowledge of “C’s” identity when I wrote my review. GMTA!
The tentacles of atheism are slowly wrapping around the MSM. One day, all of the Squad’s mail will come from godless secret agents. Keep those questions coming!
