@SmittyO216@RoguePOTUSStaff@SecWar In my experience, one person’s evangelism is another one’s “proselytizing”. They use “no proselytizing” as code for “keep your religion to yourself.”
@SmittyO216@RoguePOTUSStaff@SecWar Restricted. Not forbidden. Just like any common sense workplace. This is still America. We still have freedom of religion.
@jake_meador This bothers me exactly zero, unless this is just due to laziness. Sermons are like oral history. They can be repeated and ingrained into the brains of the audience for generations, and the first person to come up with the illustration need not always be credited.
@mattmikalatos @McLengthyName @tordotcom I don’t think so. I do believe that Lewis had a different idea of how a person is saved, and I disagree with him on that point. But he definitely believed that apostasy and being forever lost were things that people choose.
@McLengthyName @tordotcom@mattmikalatos#teamTolkien I agree with that. (I don't really like the Narnia books that much. But please don't tell anyone because it will make me suspect.)
I think Lewis was just setting up a story that was a semi-horror story revolving around Susan. He just never got to it.
@McLengthyName @tordotcom@mattmikalatos What's really bad is Lewis' inclusivism! :)
He gets a pass on that by most evangelicals, and it blows my mind. If he wrote that today, it'd be tar and feathers! Pitchforks and torches!
@McLengthyName @tordotcom@mattmikalatos I did. I am disagreeing with him. I don't think that Lewis' point is to do what the article says. I think the point of Lewis' writing this is to shock us, which he 100% succeeded in doing. I have been similarly shocked by apostasy, and for worse reasons than lipstick.
@mattmikalatos@tordotcom @McLengthyName I like to caveat everything on Twitter. I'm not trying to be an argumentative dweeb. :)
But people, very often, walk away with different understandings than authors intend. Even when the issue is well written and clear. That's not always on the author.

@GingerSnapKid Yesterday, my cowardly rooster snuck up on me and flogged me from behind. I yelled much worse things at him than this lady as he ran away. He is fortunate to be alive. 😇
