No one in existence can prove that God exits or does not exist. Therefore, as rational, thinking beings, the most prudent course of action would be to question everything. So long as you dont turn away if God does exist, you'll be fine.

As an Englishman, I thought you would have known he wrote more than seven?

He's talking about the "Chronicles of Narnia". Seven books long, and they really do beat you over the head with the said phrase.

And I got through them all. Plus the BBC adaptions of them. Voyage of the Dawn Treader on a BBC children's drama bedget was, quite frankly, pants-wettingly funny.

I tried reading those years ago, before I knew anything about C.S. Lewis (I was looking for some good fantasy). Couldn't get through ten pages of the first book. I don't remember what I read now, but I think it was because I couldn't stand the way he treats the reader like a four-year old.

I don't know, I rather enjoyed the Narnia books when I read them. Though that must have been ten years ago or so now.

Read chapter one of "Dirk Tungsten in...The Disappearing Planet"! Because I'm the passenger, and I ride and I ride.

Two things:

"...for I am a jealous god..." Ten Commandments, Chapter 20 of Exodus. And don't give me any of that, "The OT is for jews." junk that's a lie, it isn't biblical, and if you ever heard a person say that you either didn't understand or the person was a heretic.

Narnia is just childrens literature people, you haven't read Lewis until you have read his adult stuff.

Do you want to uncover the origins of the rest of M. Doughty's Biblical semi-quotes? Fun for the whole family! I think.

I'm talking about America's favorite musician who often features various Biblical allusions in his songs.
