Lewis and Tolkien Debate Myths and Lies - video.flv

[TravelingCoder]

If you strip away the fancy language, the argument presented is basically just "Christianity is true, because I like it and want it to be true" which is obviously dumb since merely liking something does not make it true.

Anyway, it is very much possible that there are things beyond what we can percieve, but if you have elaborate beliefs about them, you are really just making stuff up or trusting something without much reason.

@TravelingCoder There is nothing subjective about the argument. The argument is, Christianity is true because objectively, all Truth precedes from Christianity, which is the archetype of everything that we can find which has even the smallest echo of truth in it.

The argument Lewis puts forth is horribly poor... but at least that's in character for the real Lewis.
