Mere-Orthodoxy: Weeeeeeeeee!

Weeeeeeeeee!

Doug Greshm, as Matt mentioned, is in town. My brother passed on to me a story he heard from someone who attended a talk Greshm was giving at Mariner's Church, which I will paraphrase here: Questioning person: "How would you compare the upcoming Narnia films with the Lord of the Rings series?" Greshm: "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is a superior film." I'm not saying it's true, I'm just letting y'all know that he has gone on record as saying that Andrew Adamson is a better artist than Peter Jackson. There's only one way to find out! T-minus 23 days and counting.

Barry Lynn is a frickin idiot.

Out of curiosity, teleologist, what would you have said if Jeb Bush had chosen Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret?

Just checkin'. A lot of people who share your general sentiment (about secularism, communism, etc.) have been the ones banning books from public schools--for the opposite reason. Blume was, in fact, called a communist (among other things) because of the book's frank discussion of sex.

And no, I don't think Lewis's book is inherently religious to the secular reader, even though Christians can see the glaring, obvious parallels to Christian mythology. Lynn needs to take a deep breath, calm down, and shut up.
