It was this name that stopped me and convinced me to post this article. I read "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" at a low point in my life and found it comforting. Theodicy is the major reason for my agnosticism and I fail to see why questioning mystical origins is indicative of an agenda.

I read it, also. His grief caused him to become basically an agnostic. He didn't solve the issue at all or add anything to it, he merely tried to put agnosticism in a more favorable light.
