I don't know if it's just some low-level dyslexia on my part, or perhaps a Freudian slip that makes me do this; but when you see the word "theodicy", do you ever read it as "theo-idiocy"?
Or is it just me?

And no, I'm not confusing it with "theocracy" ("theo-crazy"? I like that one...).
"Theodicy" is the attempt to reconcile the existence of evil with an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent God...:

I've never heard of the word "theodicy". Did you mean "theocracy"?

I get why you see that, but it's not Freudian. Freudian slips are sexual so unless you see "theodicy" as "The-o-dick-y". Then you just have dyslexia :P

It's not a slipup and it's not just you; the word screams IDIOCY every time I see it. So does the very concept!

Sorry old rev, when men start seeing problems in Theo, they usually come up with dyslexic -phrenias like that.

Simple - the mind sees and hears what it wants to see and hear. It's merely your subconcious speaking to you!
