[02:23:44] <DrmChsr0> CS Lewis was never really Christian to begin with :P
[02:23:52] <+NecoArc> drm: so what's with the anonymous-ness
[02:24:13] <!Message> WAT
[02:24:13] <!Message> rofl
[02:24:18] <!Message> Lewis not Christian? Hahahahaha
[02:24:27] <DrmChsr0> I have no idea, I suppose they wanted lulz, and since /jp/ is made of Touhou and fail...
[02:24:28] <!Message> Man, have you ever READ his books?
[02:24:40] <DrmChsr0> All 7 of the Narnia Chronicles.
[02:24:49] <!Message> Screwtape Letters? A Case For Christianity?
[02:24:55] <!Message> Out of the Silent Planet?
[02:25:07] <+NecoArc> Owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, at about the age of 30, Lewis re-converted to Christianity, becoming "a very ordinary layman of the Church of England" (Lewis 1952, p. 6). His conversion had a profound effect on his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts on the subject of Christianity brought him wide acclaim.
[02:25:10] <!Message> Christian Behavior?
[02:25:12] <+NecoArc> *cough*
[02:25:15] <!Message> The Great Divorce?
[02:25:19] <!Message> Miracles?
[02:25:30] <!Message> lol, not a Christian indeed, funny :P
[02:25:37] <DrmChsr0> He was Christian in name, not in essence.
[02:25:46] <!Message> pffff
[02:25:50] <!Message> seriously
[02:25:53] <DrmChsr0> Narnia was complete fantasy. He admitted it himself.
[02:25:55] <!Message> you have NO idea what you're talking about.
[02:26:07] <!Message> Read the screwtape letters
[02:26:17] <!Message> or any other of his works, actually.
[02:26:48] <!Message> C.S. Lewis was one of the wisest and most profound Christians I've ever heard of.
[02:26:50] <MegBegb> TakaJun: So, it's already been ANal, pee, milk and shaving. I'm afraid to ask, but what 'bout the last girl?
[02:27:10] <+NecoArc> MegBegb: then don't ask
[02:27:12] <!TakaJun> I'll find out
[02:27:16] <+NecoArc> taka will probably tell us anyways
[02:28:28] <!Message> Also, he said explicitly that Narnia was allegorical. The space trilogy, that's the books he said weren't allegorical.

[02:29:10] <DrmChsr0> True, he did bring a human touchto Christianiy, and I appreciate that.
[02:30:00] <Kaens|work> what other touch is there to religion? >_>
[02:30:12] <!Message> Drm, you're catholic, aren't you?
[02:30:18] <DrmChsr0> Nope :V
[02:30:49] <DrmChsr0> oddly enough, I'm Protestant, aka the nutters
[02:31:14] <!Message> That article is about 'theology'. It's not about the gospel. And yes, that's a bad thing.
[02:31:33] <!Message> Lots of people are 'religious', but that doesn't make them christian.
[02:32:29] <DrmChsr0> ...I'm aware of that.
[02:34:09] <!Message> What does the English term 'depraved' mean?
[02:34:25] <!Message> the deprivaty of man
[02:34:37] <DrmChsr0> depravity :V
[02:34:43] <!Message> err typo
[02:34:54] <!Message> what does it mean?
[02:35:02] <DrmChsr0> corrupt, evil, etc...
[02:35:07] <!Message> k
[02:37:09] <!Message> On losing salvation: "There are people (a great many of them) who are slowly ceasing to be Christians ..." (MC, p.162). "... a Christian can lose the Christ-life which has been put into him, and he has to make efforts to keep it" (MC, p.49).  <-- lol, christ-life != salvation
[02:38:44] <!Message> The Chronicles Of Narnia series, an occult fantasy series written for children <-- heh
[02:39:07] <!Message> that's just so ridiculous, it's funny :D
[02:39:58] <+NecoArc> >.>
[02:40:17] <+NecoArc> is w4n having fun?
[02:40:25] <!Message> Interesting article
[02:40:42] <+NecoArc> anything from SC? I got an update from mira
[02:40:48] <+NecoArc> finally
[02:40:58] <!Message> nothing here
[02:41:08] <!Message> did you get the interview?
[02:41:31] <+NecoArc> she's been waiting for schedule availability and didn't tell me til I emailed her after a week, then relations after 3 more days
[02:46:03] <!Message> if evangelicals read and applaud such books as Mere Christianity, it should come as no surprise if we find them ‘working towards a common mission’ with the enemies of the gospel <-- I never thought about how other people might read his works (though I only recommend the books I know cannot be interpreted wrongly), but there is no such risk for me. I rather may be leaning towards the opposite too much. >_>;;
[02:49:51] <DrmChsr0> That's the problem, really, with most religions today...

[02:50:49] <!Message> well for me it's more a personal shortcoming. I tend to think "*this* is the best way, so every other way must be inherently bad". 
[02:51:16] <!Message> It's a easy pitfall to trip over.
[02:52:05] <DrmChsr0> If a human work can propel one to salvation, well...
[02:52:09] <+NecoArc> Message: as you have demonstrated =P
[02:52:25] <DrmChsr0> Better make sure you really stick to being good after you are saved :P
[02:52:27] <!Message> Quiet, you donkeyslave. You know me too well! :P
[02:52:55] <+NecoArc> moo.
[02:53:06] <!Message> Anyway, I'm strongly against a communal church. Rome seeking contact with the Islam is, although quite fitting of this era, a very very very bad thing.
[02:54:42] <+NecoArc> burn burn burn, need more space...

[02:56:25] <!Message> But drm, you really should read his space trilogy. For me, it was an eye-opening experience in the sense of "Hmmm... Now THAT is an interesting way to look at creation." Basically what he shows is that God in His wisdom always chooses the most awesome answer to whatever problems sin has caused.
[02:57:13] <DrmChsr0> Message: You see the same thing in the Bible.
[02:57:29] <!Message> Of course
[02:58:08] <!Message> The ideas put forward in the space trilogy are quite biblical as far as I could judge.
[02:58:19] <DrmChsr0> Prostitutes, lepers, tax collectors and even non-Israelites are forgiven because of simple faith :P
