shihtzu linked to a website called Concerned Women for America. Being an ardent lover of Crazy Christian Bullshit, I just had to check it out. This was my favorite article by far:( Text behind cut )
okay, it's been awhile since i've read anything by c.s.lewis, so bear with me:
in the chronicles of narnia, there was a character who i think was named edmond. he was a bastard some of the time, and helped out the witch but he eventually turned around. he was capable of both good and evil, being mostly a very human character, albeit a stupid one.
yep, the chronicles of narnia is about christianity. anyone who says otherwise is lying to you, even if the book is all about coming out of closets.
c.s.lewis also wrote a really neat book called 'the screwtape letters', which is about letters exchanged between two demons, screwtape and i think ringworm or something like that. anyway, it's a fast read and explores the idea that humans tempt themselves, rather than being led astray by some primordial god of sin. you might be interested enough to check it out. also, there was a fundamentalist revision of the book called 'lord foulgrin's letters'. it's a terrible knock off which the author claims was only partially inspired by c.s.lewis, which is clearly a lie.

It's nice to hear someone else say that. Seriously, both my mother and my in-laws have argued that Lewis didn't intend Chronicles of Narnia to be a Christian parable; that was just something "tacked on" after his death. What a load of crap.
I really don't care for Edmund (sp?) as a "grey" character. He seems shallow and simplistic; he darts spastically between good and evil and lacks any real depth or motivation. On the other hand, now I'll have to check out "The Screwtape Letters". That sounds pretty interesting.
haha i'd say that edmund's shallow simplistic nature is what makes him so darn realistic. darting back and forth between whoever can lend him the most favours and whatever.
