re: Lets talk about CS Lewis

Screwtape was my personal fav. Read it in 5th grade and had to write a paper from the reverse perspective, as a Guardian Angel, saving a soul, rather than leading it to damnation. Stuck with me more than the fairy tales of Narnia. Evil had a more tangible taste than magic wardrobes.

CK Lewis was funny on Parks and Recreation. But I don't see what the bid deal is about him.

A horse and his boy and the silver chair have always been my two favorite Narnia books.

Also, if anyone has small children that you read to, Tolkien's Roverandom is a really good one.

“A dogmatic belief in objective value is necessary to the very idea of a rule which is not tyranny or an obedience which is not slavery.”

We are lost without the Tao only to be overtaken by our Nature which is of animal primal origins. Not that these instincts aren't inherently necessary and even good, but that their the does exist such a thing as objective morality. There is a such as "TRUTH". It is not a merely subjective ideal that is fluid between cultures and races it is absolute, it is self evident. To appreciate and follow the Tao takes training. We do not teach children to lie they already know how. We teach them to tell the truth against their will to lie. For only by adhering to the Tao are we as human beings capable of flourishing and bearing fruit.

I would like to hear your thoughts or objections.
