Ah, C.S. Lewis, Christian apologist and pedophile.
Do people still believe in Hell?

There are tons if you google it. Basically, he took tons of seminude to nude photos of prepubescent girls, sometimes in graphic positions. He also often wrote about struggling with a specific temptation, which many scholars think was kids. The BBC did a doc on it, but I read about it in some article a long while back.
I did Google it. Got nadda. Are you sure you're not thinking of someone else? Lewis Carroll perhaps (not saying he was one, but he was someone with a similar name for whom hits like you describe were popping up)?
NEVER MIND! I retract! It was Lewis Carrol! I read it so long ago I mixed it up!
ninja'd!
ninja'd!
Good, thank you. I found it hard to believe!
So did I when I reread it, though according to some articles I just read, CS Lewis was a bit of a prick -- not a pedo though!
CS Lewis was the for best Christian apologist of the mid-20th century and a wonderful man to boot.
He was also 15 feet tall, a unicorn and bright purple.
Seriously, "The Great Divorce" is a good read on the topic of Hell.
Well he was a fantasy author.
And, don't forget, a pedophile too!
Can you read, dear? The mistake was long since corrected -- almost immediately after it was made, in fact.
Don't be so dull.
I'm not a fan, I must admit.
Ahhhh...the dullery. For the umpteenth time: not a pedo, but into S&M, apparently!
Which is delightful.
I'm just having a little fun. Is that not allowed?
And it's okay if you're not a fan, I think it offers another perspective on Hell besides the usual fire and brimstone.
It's allowed. It's also dull and mildly obnoxious.
Thanks for the permission to not be a fan. It's really important to me.
IIRC Lewis was actually pretty prudish when it came to sexual things much to the chagrin of his more secular readers, and believe me I would have heard it if he was a pedophile.
Oh and his wife died very painfully of bone cancer which is I think really makes those sort of statements even more offensive.

Excuse me, sir, I know bright purple unicorns, and C.S. Lewis was no bright, purple unicorn.
Holy pickles, you weren't kidding! Having read a few articles (including this CNN religion article and this New Yorker article on the subject), I can only conclude that I would have become the next C.S. Lewis if only I would have remained a devout Christian. As it stands, I am much closer to becoming another Lewis: Lewis Black. I'm okay with that.

Actually I'm capable of reading an entire thread and not leaving out key details.
Why is not believing seen as rejection? Let's say your religion is the one true religion. At best this means most people are just making a mistake in not believing it is true? God has no room in his heart for people who make mistakes?
Also If Satan is tricking people into following different paths then it's even worst because they aren't just making a mistake they are basically becoming victims of a scam? I would think that a real God would understand this stuff about humans and at least get their side of story before just shoveling them off to Hell because they didn't somehow get special insight needed to always make the right choices in their spirtual beliefs.
