    Josh,

    I did go see the final Star Wars flick. I had to find out how Darth became Darth. Funny thing. I sat right beside this dude that was dressed up like yound Anakin Skywalker. He was a kid but his 40 something dad was all into as well It was a hoot.

    There were alot of them in my showing of the movie too... in fact, I read in USA Today that at one of the premieres, "Darth Vader" and a guy dressed as Jesus got into a lightsaber duel in the street. "Jesus" won, and the headline was Jesus Conquers the Dark Side!

    I thought it was pretty cool. [​IMG]

    I speak with some authority on this matter.

    Prior to the opening of the film, I had the privilege of having a one-on-one private conversation with Douglas Gresham, CS Lewis' stepson. Based on what Gresham told me, I am convinced that Lewis was saved.

    JohnV,

    I hope it didn't sound like I don't want him to be in heaven. He just has some odd views concerning certain things. I don'think he was as evangelical as evangelicals like to make him out to be.

    Well, if odd views barred people from heaven, few of us would be there [​IMG]

    As for "evangelical", there's no shortage of evangelical Christians who practically raise "evangelical" to almost a requisite of being Christian, and often question the faithfulness, and even the salvtion, of people who are Christians, but not evangelical. In a nutshell, those folks are wrong.
