Bacchus and Silenus, ancient pagan gods, dance with nymphs and dryads.  With Jesus so clearly figured, it was easy to ignore such things, but what to do when Bacchus and Silenus appear not once, but twice, in Prince Caspian, where such Christological imagery is not so obvious?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;Is it possible that the writings of the “apostle to the atheists” actually smuggles in pantheism and Paganism?  There are some who believe exactly that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;This is a stumbling block for many people, including Christians themselves.  Christianity may be true but does it satisfy?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;What is so appealing about heaven if it just means sitting in a pew for eternity?  Many people in church are bored out of their minds right now.  Who wants that experience forever?  “No thanks,” many say.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.christianpost.com/article/20080506/32271_In_Defense_of_the_CS_Lewis's_Pagan_Prince_Caspian.htm</clipSource><pubDate>Wed, 07 May 2008 16:23:55 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
