POPSPagan Mythology and C.S. Lewis Rather, he was genuinely enamored of mythology and believed the "Story" to take precedence over any preconceived moral. In Lewis's own words: "Some people seem to think that I began by asking myself how I could say something about Christianity to children; then fixed on the fairy tale as an instrument; then collected information about child-psychology and decided what age group I'd write for; then drew up a list of basic Christian truths and hammered out 'allegories' to embody them. This is all pure moonshine. I couldn't write in that way at all. Everything began with images; a faun carrying an umbrella, a queen on a sledge, a magnificent lion. At first there wasn't even anything Christian about them; that element pushed itself in of its own accord" (Of Other Worlds, p. 36).

POPSShooter Possessed by Demons People sometimes argue that "their" religion is more up to date than the religion of the extremists. Herein lies the danger because both hold the same or similar ideas of bad behavior being caused by outside entities (Satan or demons of a lessor pay grade). Attempts are made by more liberal religionists for a more metaphorical interpretation of what is meant but the underlying cause of really bad actions is still partially removed from the area of responsibility of the perpetrator and placed as the result of being under the influence of some sort of demonic power. I have no problem with someone being described as being demonic but I take that to be not in a literal sense. A large block of faiths believe in possession by an outside influence. That is the danger.

POPSVice and Christian right The Christian Right come in as an "angel of light," but watch out what you give up to that "angel." 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (King James Version) 13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

POPSAbortion and "God" Does the Judeo-Christian god really not condone abortion? Or, is it alright if people make him mad? Here is a passage from the bible that says exactly how he feels about abortion. Especially, when a people rebel against him, oh then killing unborn babies is just fine with him. Pay special attention to that last line.
