The curtain is about to fall on the final act in the saga of our Thanksgiving
leftovers. We'll make a quick trip to my dad's to share the last of the turkey
salad and bestow a gift of the last of the gravy, which would just go to waste
if we kept it.

C.S. Lewis was an atheist who came to Christianity later in life and ended up as a very devout Christian. As others have said the Narnia books are a retelling of various Biblical stories, although in a fairly veiled way. I really recommend reading them -- I don't think I've read them in around 15 years myself, but they're excellent reading, and I'm hardly a religous person.
Oh and Tim -- it's not right to bash all Christians for the views of a few extremists, any more than it is to bash all Muslims. But if you haven't figured out that Halsy hates all religions, and unequally, then I don't know what website you've been reading.
And, at the same time, I'd like to see more mainstream sects come out and decry the extremist Christians, just as we ask mainstream Muslims to talk out against their extremists.
