How about a recipe so you can actually try Turkish Delight? We made it. Simple and impressive. It was a big party hit.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Saw the movie last week and really enjoyed it. My wife and I are reading the series to each other before we go to sleep. I think anyone who reads the Magicians Nephew first will have a better understanding of who the witch is and how the wardrobe became a portal to Narnia. I mentioned to my secetary that I was going to see it and she got all defensive. She started talking about about how evil the movie was. I was at a loss of words. She said that she had received an e-mail from her sister with a whole bunch of quotes from CS Lewis. According to her the quotes basically said that the books were written to say that a better God would have done better than the True Almighty. I told her that the quotes must have been taken out of context or that they were not really even quotes from Lewis. She just argued and made a comment, that Tolkien and the aurther of the Harry Potter books are both admirers of Lewis and that people that wrote books on witchcraft couldnt possibly support a writer for Christian books. Has anyone ever had this reaction from someone. I tried to explain the allegory and symbolism, but she just refused to listen.
I probably should add that she goes to a church that teaches that God will turn your teeth filling into gold as a blessing.

well, that last line should say it all. Pray that God opens her eyes and gets her out of that church! And I wouldn't try arguing with her, because I don't think she'll listen rationally.
While it's true that Lewis held some unconventional beliefs, he was still an awesome man of God, and many wonderful bits of truth can be gleaned from his writings.
