If Liam Neeson wishes to believe that then let him believe that, C.S. Lewis said many times through out his life that people are not going to see the world the way he does and that we can not be angered but be understanding with love. To call some one names because they do not see or believe the same way is not what Christ would want us to do.

Lewis' stories must be interpreted correctly in order for the person reading his stories (or watching the movies) to get an accurate view of his work. Neeson is doing C.S. Lewis' work an injustice by stating his own wrong opinion.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-74391165705264355962011-04-13T17:03:08.607-07:002011-04-13T17:03:08.607-07:00Not sure what you mean by "rabid" but Le...Not sure what you mean by "rabid" but Lewis has written book after book of theology soaked books and made it pretty dang clear what he believes. <br /><br />I could be mistaken but I think he wrote them to his niece to equip her with a better understanding of deep theological beliefs that she could still see at a younger age.

Any research would confirm that we wanted Aslan to resemble Jesus - slamming him for his personal opinion but remember that it is just that. An OPINION. The author even states that before the quote: "with his interpretation of Aslan" HIS interpretation, not fact.<br /><br />Personally I see Jesus, but you could argue that Aslan is more of a spiritual figure in general. He isn't ACTUALLY jesus - he just resembles him. (Have to agree about Mohammed though - no way)<br /><br />btw, you've also not remembered that he's Catholic. <br /><br />I think alot of American christians (I'm assuming evangelicals of some flavour?) forget that faith isn't as rabid over here in the UK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-79304753003040977712011-01-13T09:24:04.813-08:002011-01-13T09:24:04.813-08:00If he thinks that, I wonder what his take on "...If he thinks that, I wonder what his take on "The Last Battle" would be.Nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714945318234390278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-85723697168917330262011-01-11T21:18:31.047-08:002011-01-11T21:18:31.047-08:00“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the...“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:36-39...

If they weren't, they wouldn't be actors/actresses. And what's the quickest way to get attention? By saying/doing something so outrageous that everybody picks up on it. Since a lot of (liberal) Hollywood movies are tanking (and conservative movies are banking), the liberal Hollywood set may be feeling a bit, shall we say, left out; this might explain the truckloads of 'are-you-out-of-your-mind?' statements and actions we're seeing.<br /><br />That or there's something in California water that's turning them all into lunatics.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605402760873643451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-67008713416580258222010-12-07T09:54:53.919-08:002010-12-07T09:54:53.919-08:00LL summed it up for me, pretty much the same expie...LL summed it up for me, pretty much the same expierence.Christopher - Conservative Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102651466203156040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-60028114037207528722010-12-07T08:57:29.630-08:002010-12-07T08:57:29.630-08:00I'm 100% sure CS Lewis would agree with you.I'm 100% sure CS Lewis would agree with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-86113589375502723582010-12-07T07:30:07.166-08:002010-12-07T07:30:07.166-08:00Hollywood will say what Hollywood will say.

Lewis is a giant among Christian authors, and that is now, and never has been, a secret.<br /><br />I always wondered how Hollywood managed to bring themselves to actually making this Christian children's classic into a film. Liam Neeson, I suspect, is trying to divorce himself from association with a film based on Christian theology. Maybe he's angling for a part produced by Islamic $$$.Quite Rightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454908849040454661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075932024272546688.post-92010815283691716052010-12-06T17:09:56.297-08:002010-12-06T17:09:56.297-08:00Back in 7th grade when I first read the Narnia boo...Back in 7th grade when I first read the Narnia books, I was a little creeped out. I was thinking "I dunno about this, they're making this cat out to be some kind of wannabe Jesus." Little moron that I was, I thought it could be a sin to compare Christ to a cat or something. Then it was explained to me that CS Lewis was a Christian and that Aslan was a Christ figure ON PURPOSE and the whole thing made more sense.<br /><br />I guess me in 7th grade has more of a clue than Neeson has today.innominatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365636738022339985noreply@blogger.com
