Hi all,
Well, ouija boards can be kind of dicy. It's sort of like sticking a
hair pin in an electrical socket. Most of the time, nothing happens
to folks who use them, but sometimes results can be quite alarming.
As for Madeleine L'Engle, God Rest her, the fundies don't like her
because her view of God is too liberal for their tastes. I'm not
exactly sure what doctrinal gumbus they are all bent out of shape
about, but it's something doctrinal. Hey, if they can get upset about
Snow White, Madeleine L'Engle isn't too much of a stretch. I'm
surprised C.S. Lewis' books aren't on the list. After all, they have
witches, and magic and mythical beasts and all. Maybe it's because
somebody in high places declared them to be Christian based. They are,
but so is A Wrinkle In Time.
BTW, Grandma Cindy, I can understand why you wouldn't like Christian
apologetics. I don't like them much either. They are dull and dreary
and not fun to read. Give me The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader or That
Hideous Strength and you can take all your apologetics and put 'em back
on the top shelf of the library.
I think it's great that as an atheist you are willing to validate
religious books. Who knows, it might rub off on you. Oh, not the
doctrinal stuff or the churchy stuff, but the spiritual stuff. That's
what really counds.
