Livre d'Or

Right, so you were older and pretty religiously knowledgeable. I'm impressed with tiny!Melannen's critical insight in seeing tLtW&tW as a poor version of the Christian story. I really think there's a lot to be said for teaching children real religion and not cute baby Jesus / old man in the sky type of stories, even if it meant you ended up too cynical for Narnia.

It's interesting that you lose respect for people who take Lewis' theology too seriously. I'm not putting a high priority on reading his writings, though I accept he gets quoted out of context a lot. I feel like a lot of what he's doing is writing apologetics, he's not really trying to convince other people to become Christian, more to convince himself that what he emotionally wants to believe is justified. And that sort of writing often is shallow and self-congratulatory.
