    Challenge Thread: Were you wrong about Pluto?

    Reminds me of a question we said to each other at school: "Are you a PLP? If the answer was "Yes", response "So you're a public leaning post" If "No", response "So you're not a proper living person" AV1611VET's challenge strikes me as very similar.

    Do Tolkien (LOTR etc) and CS Lewis (Narnia) promote witchcraft?

    In the Narnia stories Lewis is almost explicit that this is a Christian story. Alan is the lion of Judah - the symbol of God. At the star of The Dawn Treader the animal in the picture is a lamb which, on second glance, becomes Asian. The lamb of God becoming God. What more symbolism is needed!
