C.S. Lewis is brillian, let me just begin with that. The points he made in this essay really helped clarify some questions I've had about my faith--and helped me form new questions of my own. I liked that he pointed out that in order for Christianity to be true, not all other religions have to be completely untrue. Certainly, they may not lead to heaven, but many tenets of religions agree, and there are certain aspects and behaviors from other religions that we could adopt.
Another point I liked was how he addressed the question of "if God is good, why has the world gone wrong?" He replies that we cannot even have a concept in our mind of morality, rightness, and justice if a supreme being did not create us with a bent towards perfection.
Thanks, C.S. Lewis. You're a genius.
