This is an appetizer as to why I hold that C S Lewis, well beloved by christians the world over, is in fact in disastrous error when it came to christian living.
More may follow, God permitting
MEDITATION ON A FAMOUS NAME
CS [Clive Staples] is well named
He would call CLEAVE-ing to christ
That CLEAVE -ing of will from feeling
He did in fear of his own heart
Thus was he STAPLE-d to Law
With twin spikes
Of fear - which is unbelief
And self righteousness
Driven through his own soul
This leaven of pharisees,
Might be a STAPLE of many
But is no
Heavenly Food
For the GREAT - est DIVORCE
Was not that he wrote about
Rather it was that he practised,
And has enjoined upon us,
As This PILGRIM, though reborn
Has REGRESS - ed to the
Errors of his youth
Claptrap in
Puritania
His Hoof might not
Be CLOVEN
But his doctrine served
Him whose was,
For which Father of Lies
Was it who first said
In Heavenly clime
Let's Pretend?
For Tho he would be
King of his flesh
in domination
Of repression,
He was in
Such dishonesty
No CLOVIS (whence the name LEWIS)
The frank
O Jack!
Why sought you not Jesus
earlier instead
of later
Only one Joy
might you have lost
not both,
And a GRIEF might have
Been OBSERVED
Rather than a
Despair publicized.
O what a pity
You sought
Christ-i-an -it-y,
Instead of the Christ
YES,
HIM!

You can disagree with me, even spiritedly. But keep it civil as I am the one hurt by cruelty. I must protect myself from nastiness and will block or ban users if I must. And it would help if you offered reasons for your disagreements. If they are good I may respect you. If they are sound I may even change my mind
