Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

Here's the thing that got me to realize I needed this blog.

History Lesson:
became a Christian at age 7 after praying with my mother.
Transferred to a Christian school in high school... because high school sucks.
Went to a Bible Collage College to become a missionary, dropped out a year later.
Realized God wasn't real about 4-5 years ago.
Am now 31 years old.

Got into a discussion with friends and friends of friends on Facebook about god, specifically the christian god.

a friend posted:
"A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading." -C.S. Lewis

This seemed unfathomably odd to me. It was an excess of reading that helped me realize god didn't exist... So I asked what things exactly should i be careful of reading... and C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity was brought up. And so I obtained a copy and started reading, hoping to hear something new.

The first chapter starts with the argument from morality. Lewis considers a few moral situations and concludes that there is NOTHING that could have caused mans internal moral decisions other then it being put there by a deity. Basically, he says, I don't know why this happens, therefor, god. He writes this in the most elegant way, that's obvious... but when you break it down, that is all there is to it. He then takes this logical fallacy as an axiom and goes on to prove all kinds of other nonsense, which all falls apart if you take out the foundation.

Obviously, there are moral laws that are common to every human being, and a lot of people have all kinds of Ideas about where they come from. I can honestly say I don't know what (as if it were one thing) caused this in humanity, and in other species. I think its likely a result of evolution. But the biggest mistake ever, is to assume supernatural influence wherever there is a gap in your understanding.

I'm kinda disappointed.
