The fact that the entire "staff" of a freethinker institute failed to think very deeply about the Law of Identity explains why I call myself a freethinker who has trouble liking quite a few of the freethinkers I meet.

Nice rebuttal, Ed!

The Prometheus staff seems to misunderstand the tabula rasa metaphor. The metaphor says the human mind is like a blank slate on which experience writes. That means "written on", not "totally created by." In other words, it is a blank slate, not no slate.
