Hello, welcome, and thank you for your interesting and thoughtful comments. And it sounds like you've had quite the religious trajectory. I agree, Lewis' imagery is much more appealing than the message. I had no idea there was an Iron Maiden song, so thanks for bringing that to my attention!
And it's interesting that Lewis was part of what helped you to reconnect with Christianity. I think I mostly see what you mean about shadows; college Christian Unions are particularly shallow but I don't really expect anybody to be able to understand God more than the vaguest of shadows, not by thinking about or describing God anyway.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
