    That's all I'm saying.

    These movies aren't for non-believers in the first place. How is this film shoving anything down anyone's throats? Nobody's making anyone buy a ticket.

    Cute, but that still doesn't change his style of writing, which was from a logical standpoint. You may not agree with his logic, but that is the manner in which he spoke.

    I've heard the argument that it's based on a logical fallacy and I honestly didn't find the argument particularly compelling.

    Tolkien didn't care for allegory, so obviously he wasn't likely going to be a fan of the Narnia books. I almost admire Lewis all the more for writing them anyway when one of your good friends has a low opinion of them.

It's

    Are you telling me that atheists' statements don't carry arrogance? Atheists often just go straight to name-calling when it comes to people of faith. Heck, one of their most prominent voices, Richard Dawkins, wants religion abolished.

    Nothing says "obnoxious" like being logical.

    Wow. Could the reviewer be more condescending?
