A former 40 year Atheist analyzes Atheism, without resorting to theism, deism, or fantasy. *** If You Don't Value Truth, Then What DO You Value? *** If we say that the sane can be coaxed and persuaded to rationality, and we say that rationality presupposes logic, then what can we say of those who actively reject logic? *** Atheists have an obligation to give reasons in the form of logic and evidence for rejecting Theist theories.

Time For CS Lewis Again
Answer to the final question: If it fits the narrative, it is immutable and unquestionable. Why? Because the narrative is defined as True. So anything outside the tautology is defined as false. It's simple, really.
I'm not sure what book. Lewis had this wonderful rock hard logic which he sometimes coupled with analogy or Socratic questioning. Truly brilliant while simultaneously entertaining.
Indeed. I was watching Men Without Chests. I read the Abolition of Man a long time ago, and the doodles and the voice of the narrator, which is exceptional, helped really bring it all back and solidify what C.S. Lewis was trying to say. It made his final statement about making Men Without Chests all the more brilliant.
If you haven't watched it yet. Watch the Poison of Subjectivism. Towards the end, the animator gets in a nice little dig on Al Gore when the narrator reads "(a man)... who will not make up his facts..." And the animator draws a white board with a hockey stick on it. Still the whole six minute video is worth it.

What book did that come from? I really enjoyed the animation and narration of the video.
I did not know these existed. I have watched two already. Thank you, Stan. I have bookmarked the rest. I can never get enough Lewis.
