Should CS Lewis ever turn out to have a serious opium addiction just prior to his death, I suspect Christians and especially Evangelicals may’ve turned him into a idol. There’s nothing wrong with admiring somebody but when God gets angry and jealous (as usual, he’s often angry and tired) I have a feeling that many more Christians pay more attention to Lewis than to Christ.
Or at least ironically care for him more to the point of pedestalising him above Christ. It’s not that he hasn’t done any good. He did. But I’m afraid Christians pay more attention to him than to Christ and rather than Narnia, they should really prioritise devotionals and the Bible. The day CS Lewis turns out to be a drug addict suggests that Christians should pay more attention to Christ than to him.
Or anybody and anything else.
