 Good argument but flawed March 20, 2008

Lewis presents a wonderful Apologetic book on x-tian views. Thought provoking and insightful. If you are a x-tian having a crisis of faith and want a little aid then this is the book for you. However, this books argument is essentially flawed. I found several arguments he put forth, that while brilliant are essentially downright wrong. very inspiring though and worth a look.

We all share a common morality.
Therefore, God.
Mostly a waste of time. If the contents of this book are an example of what Lewis considers a cogent argument, then it's no wonder that he believes what he believes. Basically for believers who need reaffirming.
 rated 1 star because that's as low as I could go. March 9, 2008

This book is a collection of absolutely subjective platitudes that serves nothing more then to lead impressionable (to put it lightly)...dare I say...hungry seekers of an explanation and reconciliation of their own mortality and the ever after.
And for the obvious "fan" base. It's just a little more brick 'n mortar to fortify their own (________)...insert your own.

In this "Classic" defense of religion (Christianity in particular), Apologist-in-Chief C.S. Lewis offers a stunning smorgasbord of flawed premises, tortured logic, and non-stop non sequiturs. From a master wordsmith, jabberwockey.

After reading this book, I consider myself an absolute fan of C.S. Lewis. I was a little skeptical about this book, thinking it would be dry and "religious", but it definitely surprised me. The author starts out with a look at the human condition, and the existence of 'right' and 'wrong', and goes further to say that certain things about this point to there being a creator. That's just one little part of the book. He goes into lots of other things that will definitely make you think about how you approach God. It's written in a very conversational tone (actually, it's transcribed radio broadcasts from WWII times in Great Britain), so it is very accessible. Be prepared to take notes, though, as you read it.
