Yeah, actually all the smart kids cracked the code. So...  :roll:

Actually, I still don't get it.

BeoPuppy:
Just trust us when we say that it's badly written dross intended to make kids into weak little god fearing spineless twats. With a lion.

jimbunny:
And if the kids turn out not to be twats, what happens to the intent, I wonder?

Actually, considering that C.S Lewis was just writing a story with a biblical allegory and not an actual Christian agenda, it was probably written with the intent of C.S Lewis writing a story that had parallels to something he cared about and believed in but also was quality and a good fantasy novel in general.  I mean, I'm not the biggest fan or anything, but that sort of statement is a bit silly. 

David_Dovey:
I wonder if people would be as butthurt about the allegorical aspects of the Narnia series if Lewis didn't write all those apologist tracts as well? I mean, Narnia is hardly unique in it's religious content, yet nobody seems to bitch out, say, The Matrix.
