C. S. Lewis - On Obstinacy in Belief

Catholic all my life, finding so much value in these writings of CS Lewis. Each one could be listened to many times to soak up the content. Thank you for posting.

I was first acquainted with C.S. Lewis, as a child, early sixties, the Narnia series, and never knew of his deep theological mind and faith. I believed in God, the Creator, as a boy, because I saw intelligent design in everything in nature, and the way people did things. I came to God after time overseas, in the eighties, and have never turned back. I've been astonished, and greatly blessed, educated, by a good number in the last couple weeks. He is a brilliant man, and great philosopher, excellent apologist. He has truly expanded my thinking, and reasoning, my faith.

I love listening to his deep wisdom 😌

These are amazing readings. Thank you kindly for sharing this.

I love the analogy of mankind needing to trust in God with a child with a thorn in its finger needing to trust in their benevolent parent in order to fix the problem.

Gotta love any essay using “incredibilia”.

Brilliant

I honestly think even in the thought of one's own self going to hell there might be a sort of wishful thinking, to paraphrase Lewis in the pilgrims regress, it's one thing to try to get a splinter out of your own finger because if worse comes to worse you could always give up and let it sit there and put up with the pain, but it's another thing to let someone else fiddle with it and take it out and hurt it as much as he sees fit. Maybe there's something a wickedly comforting about the idea of slinking back into the bus from the great divorce to retreat back to hell to wallow and stew and be a wretched little sinner compared with the idea that we each have an inescapable devine destiny to become holy, sanctified, glorified sons of God.

Love

Read more slowly, never be in a hurry while sharing brilliance.

Wise man

Wisdom will find its own.

Just got here after watching Amy Schumer. The algorithm don't know what to do with me. #sadbois

Better than a sermon.

Hypotheses by scientists and belief by scientists is contrasted

The assumption that everything came from nothing is ridiculous, only a fool cannot see the fingerprints of a supreme being all around us, I buy the God of Christianity because it works and because it's true.

CS fell asleep in class on the day they explained Bayes' theorem.

Amen🙏🙏
