How strange it is to be anything at all!: One of the better conversations about CS Lewis I've had.

From a while back...

Kimberly Jane Prijatel Dude, I am SO TIRED of CS Lewis arguments.

Micah Sergey

why kim? he's obviously the best intellectual we've got in the whole 2000+ years of our tradition

Micah Sergey

and he smoked a pipe. omg thats so cool!

Micah Sergey

;)

Kimberly Jane Prijatel

Yeah, but that pipe was more pipe-ish than a pipe of our world. It had pipe-like qualities, but even more pipe-y.

Micah Sergey

the pipe was so pipey that the smoker feels that there must be some outside judge that determines 'pipeiness.' god exists, qed!

Kimberly Jane Prijatel

Either he was a lunatic and thought he was smoking a pipe (while in reality it was merely a nice chunk of herring he got in the market), he was a liar, who boasted about a pipe to appear fashionable, or he really did smoke a pipe and he reigned over that pipey pipe in a way that demands all pipes to submit to him. Now, I don't think he was a lunatic, and I don't think he lied. Therefore, the only conclusion we can make is that he did in fact smoke a pipe and all pipes MUST allow him to smoke them.

Micah Sergey

this made me smile

Kimberly Jane Prijatel

Micah Sergey

Kimberly Jane Prijatel

Micah Sergey

Kimberly Jane Prijatel

Well even so, the result was a Great Divorce.
