Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,

Silly me! ;)

I forget that just about everything on this list is an "argument". I rather
looked upon it (the statement) as Lewis' opinion in a book likely to be read
by a searcher -- not a debater. On infidels.org. it is put down as one would
expect. But on infidels.org, nearly all Christian outlooks are put down.

I fail always to think of the possibility that someone could become a
believer by means of an "argument". That just shows the warped mindset that I
possess.

But as a "seeker" Lewis' "Mere Christianity" did fit well with my then
reading of the NT. I believe that it has helped more people than it s
hindered. (IMHO).
