Douglas Adams vs. C.S. Lewis
Even if you only have read Hitchhiker’s Guide, it should be no surprise to hear just how outspoken an athiest Douglas Adams is. What is particulary troubling is that when you realize how far-reaching (as I have already pointed out) and important (in their own way) his writings have become in our society — it actually bothers me. And of course (according to this article, Disney) is involved in making the new movie based on the Hitchhiker’s book. On a side note, the “American Atheists” need to come up with a more complelling set of images than slashes through Christian symbols. While I was reluctant to link the arcticle (due to the obviously Anti-Christian purpose), I find it important nevertheless to realize what people are saying about God. It also would have been interesting to have heard Mr. Adams debate with C.S. Lewis on the subject. I suspect “Jack” would have kicked Douglas’s butt!
