[QUOTE="keith99, post: 60182728, member: 211648"] Ah the compliment of what Lewis talked about in Letter 28 of the screwtape letters! [url=http://www.freebooks2u.com/fantasticfiction/The-Screwtape-Letters.html]The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis_free online reading books[/url] In looking up the right letter I had to skim it to be sure I got the right one (No I did not on the first try, but for this one I knew the approximate place in the book). In so doing one thnig really struck me in the context of this thread. Those Christians who take delight in the suffering or death of others have a lot in common with Wormwood, a rather immature devil. The minor point is they consider those others as less than themselfs, but more important they are reveling in teh suffering of others and in so doing forget their own task. And over all I'd rate Wormwood as bette, at least he has cause for his joy. For a Christian there should be weeping and the gnashing of teeth and the rending of clothes as a soul has been lost.
