Honestly, I had a hard time not laughing at that website. The Author’s arguments were more than shaky. I would write to the woman and discuss it with her, but this is the sort of idiotic dribble to which one merely shakes one’s head. I have far too many relatives like this woman, so I know that reasoning with this sort of person is useless.
Okay, okay, we get it. C.S. Lewis was not God…we understand that. And yet, the author persists in pointing out all of his bad habits, and alleged bad choices. However, if we researched this woman’s life, I’m sure we would find some unsavory actions. That’s because she is a human being like the rest of us. So was Lewis. We also realize that his works are not imperfect…or we would call them…the Holy Bible.
There is so much to argue on that website. The thing that bothers me the most is that she, like many others, takes Lewis’ fictional novels as strict allegories. If I’m not mistaken, Lewis tells us not to do this repeatedly. But again, this sort of person doesn’t like any Faerie Tales, and looks at them as nonsense.
