C.S. Lewis' Opinions

Agree
My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. ... Of course I could have given up my idea of justice by saying it was nothing but a private idea of my own. But if I did that, then my argument against God collapsed too--for the argument depended on saying that the world was really unjust, not simply that it did not happen to please my fancies. [The] very act of trying to prove that [...] reality was senseless [forced me to assume] my idea of justice--was full of sense.
