The literary style is called an allegory.

And it’s definitely intended to make the audience think of Jesus.

The writer for the Daily Wire should have learned about allegories by 8th grade, unless he went to government schools.

Don’t use weasel language. It’s an activist director specifically trying to piss off Christians.

Slow is right. 25% of the posts in a thread is pretty minimal for xim.

What weasel language? I already made this argument five days ago in the MTV melt thread.

That has nothing to do with your original statement that Aslan being female is no big deal. You’re squirming. Whatever little bug is in your butt this morning, go shite it out.

The lion is clearly stated to be male in the books

“Safe? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you."




Even taking the Christian imagery from the story it’s a HUGE departure from the books to be female.



Add in that the author specifically states it’s an allegory for Jesus you have successfully offended people on both a reading perspective and religious perspective.



At this point who is the audience going to be?

So they are redoing The lion, the witch and the wardrobe again? And now using Meryl Streep to voice Aslan? I mean it's Hollywood...they just casted Ellen Page to play a warrior in the Odyssey. Why wouldn't they cast a female voice to play a male lion - who symbolizes Jesus? It is what Hollywood does best.

I want to see them cast a female to play Muhammad to see how that goes.

No, it isn't. It's a direct reference to your OP.

If Jesus can take the form of a male lion, taking the form of a female lion isn't exactly a big deal.
And I've directly refuted you, with evidence. You don't have to spin off into some deflection about why Greta is doing this. I already know why, but your statement that because it's a lion, a female lion is no big deal - is false.

Now go hit the showers, kid.

Except there are more responses from you in this thread than from any other poster... I actually feel sorry for you. You actually believe the shite that you spout at this point.
