Mr. C.S. Lewis,

I find you the most difficult to read during the summer. No joke my brain is completely old English fried. However I find one quote of yours the most interesting and delightful of them all!

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would be either a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.

Its a great quote. One of my favorites. There is so much truth behind it. Lewis also said one time that he "gave up and admitted God is God". Lewis tells it like it is, once you can get past the whole English dilemma.
