Might be wise to actually do some research into a person about whom you're complaining before voicing your complaints. It typically helps a person to avoid looking like a complete fool.

That's the idea.

You're so dumb. Other people made up the religious allegories and symbolism. C.S. Lewis openly told several publications that he implied zero religion in his stories. He laughed at the connections that they made and said "Their imaginations run wilder than mine ever could". Maybe, like most people, you should know what the fuck you're talking about before you do dumb shit like that.

Actually, that would be JRR Tolkien, who often argued with Lewis about which was better: straight out allegory (e.g. the Chronicles of Narnia) or simply having Christian morals and values in your story (e.g. LOTR). Lewis never really had any qualms about admitting that his stories were allegorical with obvious Christian themes.

Of course, the OP is still an idiot, but that's beside the point.

There's no reason, IMO, for you to think he was a pedo.  Just because he wrote about children?  Okay.  Then every other children's writer is a pedo, too.  And the religious tones are in symbolism.

C. S. Lewis was a wise, intelligent, and humorous author. He was not a 'religious wacko', e.g. Fred Phelps, bin Laden, etc.
