Meryl Streep is a brilliant actress. That isn't the point.
C.S. Lewis wrote Aslan as Christ. Male. He. The Son of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea.
Netflix has chosen a woman to give voice to that explicitly male Christ figure.
This doesn't happen in a cultural vacuum. For years, Hollywood has been deliberately breaking the connection between biological sex, gender and identity, particularly in stories presented to children.
Male becomes female.
Female becomes male.
And eventually the audience is expected to pretend there are no differences. As if they weren't there.
Now that treatment has reached Aslan, one of the most recognizable representations of Jesus Christ in children's literature.
This is not “artistic vision.” This switch from male to female of a representation of Christ in literature is both disrespectful of C.S. Lewis' original work and and the man himself.
At what point does “inclusion” become the deliberate erasure of the source material, and a mockery of the Christian faith at its center?
@RogersHelps With Bell for 15 yrs and never had an outage for days. Plus, @Rogers customer service is completely unreachable. Apparently, the fact that they are having a high call volume is a reason to just tell me they can't help me and disconnect the call.
@mark_slapinski I would say that my husband and I have personally heard that from several immigrants, some of whom have turned around and moved back to places like Croatia and Syria. My husband works with a man from China who is lamenting that Canada is more like China than he expected.
Earlier this summer, I wrote about rising antisemitism in Canada, lamenting the disbelief that is seemingly everywhere. Today, more than 100 Jewish community centres, hospitals, and organizations across Canada received bomb threats.

A key difference between Christian women and Democrats is that Christian women will sacrifice their wants to protect their babies while Democrats will sacrifice their babies to protect their wants.
I really appreciate this account as one of the bright spots of X.
Maybe I follow the wrong accounts but it is hard not to get down and stressed scrolling my feed.
If anyone is getting sued it should be the Olympic committee for encouraging the delusion that someone with masculine levels of testosterone/estrogen should compete in women's sports.
@GadSaad Perhaps part of the problem is that people pushing this crazy agenda are not the same group who are having lots of children and considering the Legacy that they leave them.
Couldn’t they get a religious exemption?
What if they just showed the love of Christ more? Wouldn’t that have reduced the friction with the culture?
Why didn’t they hire a church growth consultant to learn how to find seekers and not be so divisive?
They should’ve toned it down so they could’ve stayed relevant!
