Narnia, Narnia

Just for the record, I do not think ya'll are crazy.

In fact, I have the utmost respect for both of you.

Also for the record, I have never read C.S. Lewis, and I do not plan to.
Mostly because someone, who will go un-named in this public place, once
suggested that my "faith" might be enhanced by C.S.'s words.

Fuck that. I have plenty of "faith", it's just not rooted in Christianity.
Don't get me wrong, Jesus was cool, and I dig him just fine, but don't
expect to see me in any Christian place of worship anytime soon.

So maybe that's not very rational, or adult, but frankly I don't give
two pulls. I have made it just fine for nearly thirty years without Lewis,
and I'm pretty sure I can make it another thirty. Am I missing out?
Maybe. Does it keep me up at night? No, not ever.

Okay, enough of my own melodrama.

Here's my point:

Molly's right, the kids don't care. They have read, or will read the Narnia
stuff because someone that loved it recommended it, or maybe because
they find it on their own, or maybe after seeing the movie, whatever.
Bottom line- kids don't give a shit about sub-text, adults with "religious issues"
like me do. And really, no one gives a crap about what I think, so I won't
bore you with it any longer than need be.

Just know this: I think it is very important for kids (and everyone for that matter)
to choose their path. Whether it's church, or what-ever-the-hell.
Choose something. Even if it's the idea
that there is no God. Fine. Just choose it for yourself.

So- here's to hoping that the movie doesn't come off like some kind
of "join the Christians" thing. And I hope it's all magical and stuff for
the fans of the book. For real. For really real.

Oh, and make sure you tell me how it was.
