I liked this book of a Latter Day perspective on CS Lewis. Since that's part of my perspective, too, I appreciate this approach at understanding the author. It is a.

He made no attempt to conceal his phone number. He rose at daybreak to answer letters from people seeking spiritual advice. He even made personal visits.

The Space Review: C.S. Lewis and his Space Trilogy, then and now

Lewis met the man and spent an afternoon talking to him about his problem, wrote A. Lewis: A Biography. Lewis is still surprising people 50 years later. His ability to reach people long after his death is astonishing, some say. We grew up with him, so we lose touch with how unusual that is. The Christian icon whose image we see in bookstores may first seem distant. He spoke and dressed like a prim Englishman from another time. But his life was messy, contradictory and tarnished by thwarted dreams.

An interesting take, though I don't understand what is supposed to be un-Christian about any of the things presented here. A promise made to a fellow soldier.. Just because there were whispers of illicit activity, the author can give no evidence of it.. He was friends with someone who was gay? Again, not un-Christian. He spent time in pubs? Jesus spent a lot of time with people that "religious" folks didn't approve of. Thank you. It's great to see a christian on this blog who understands that truth is not a personal insult.

C.S. Lewis: A Profile of His Life

And what you call all the attacks that you have made throughout this blog? Are they not insults? It sounds like a double standard to me. Besides, my answer was not meant to insult anyone. What a better way to realize how empty we really are than by listening to our own empty hearts displayed trough our empty words that thirst for answers? There are many christians on this blog who seem to think that an article telling the less-than complimentary truth about a christian person is an attack.

This is hypocrisy, plain and simple.

C. S. Lewis: The Man and His Message

My comment has nothing to do with any responses beyond the criticism leveled at the author by christian respondents. So I missed your answer on the previous post: What do you mean by "empty vessel"? When someone calls me something, I would like to know what they mean.

I searched back and found your non-answer. You call people who don't what believe what you do "empty vessels".

How very presumptuous. Is that one of the morals you learned in your church? What I said is that for most of my life I used to be just like you, an "empty vessel. Well, whenever we live apart from God we are by default spiritually inept and thus empty simply because we are living just half a life rather than a full life. So, whenever I see you here making the same comments about Christianity that use to make, that would give me the indication that you are as empty as I was.

Besides, my initial comment wasn't directed at you, it was never meant to insult no one, but to simply point to the truth of the matter. So basically what you are saying is that because I don't believe exactly what you do, I am an empty vessel. How presumptuous. I'm sorry that you had an unhappy life and had to turn to religion for comfort.

It's a common enough story, but not universal. I am not empty or unhappy. I find fact and reality much more fulfilling than belief in a god. The simple truth is that I cannot believe in your god or any god because there isn't a single shred of evidence to support the existence of gods, and I was raised to be honest. Bob, If you really want to learn more about the answers to your questions, why not read "Mere Christianity"?

Its easy to make snarky comments on an anonymous forum. Its much more difficult to actually read and understand his works before dismissing them. Keep an open mind and read, really read the book. I think if you make an honest attempt to understand Christianity, and still find it "pathetic" you will still have grown closer to God even if you think He doesn't exist. That may not make sense to you right now. But hopefully it may someday.

Merry Christmas! I've been making an honest attempt for the better part of 20 years.

C S Lewis, Men Without Chests

Used to be a christian, but I don't believe anymore. Indeed, the more I've learned the firmer my conviction though I'm not an absolutist by any means. Lewis you never knew". Blake, it is quite apparent through your feeble hatchet job, that you "knew" him even less. A true christian would have lied about the flaws of C. Heaven forbid any christian be perceived as less than perfect.

Projecting perfection has nothing to do with it, it's about the tone and intent of the article. Keep trying. Bottom line. Cs Lewis knew it too. Hatchet job?

I don't think so. Sounds like you have more of a problem with John Blake himself than anything he wrote about C.

We're all imperfect. I wouldn't point out that his personal life was "horrible". I think he lived the best life he could, just like everyone else. No one is without sin and we all fall short. He entertained believer and heathen alike.

Little kids especially loved his children's books. Screwtape was his least favorite and most popular. It drained him spiritually to focus on the evil of the spirit world. Tell me about it! Ahh, the smell of bs in the morning, courtesy of Communist News Network.

How C. S. Lewis escaped.

You guys are really on the Christian bashing bandwagon aren't you? How is this article Christian bashing? Go to Fox. They're known for their "Good Christian Values". Lewis though I am a German my hero should be Bonhoeffer. According to my taste Lewis' most impressive work are "The Chronicles of Narnia. I want to emphasize that Lewis never rejected the ecclesiastical sacraments, and therefore he actually is not the hero of the evangelicals the evangelicals deny the sacral character of baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Eustace had been a stinker. Aslan Jesus in our world had to educate him. In Narnia Eustace suffered a very accident but that belonged to Aslan's plan for him — by bad magic he was transformed into a dragon having a ring at one of his legs which was too small, and caused him much pain. Furthermore he was very lonley as a dragon.
