Narnia is awful Christian propaganda, what a waste of money

Some of the best art we have throughout history was Christian propaganda. That’s why learning the historical context is important. You don’t have to believe everything you see.

But the books are terrible on top of that

I mean, this is just false though. They're incredibly engaging, well-written, and quite funny to boot (except maybe the Silver Chair and the Last Battle). I can't wait for my kid to be old enough to read them for the first time.

Horse and His Boy didn't age very well, either.

Yeah this is kind of like defending all the "great Harry Potter art" despite Rowling being deserving of 6ft of dirt.

Just because it has inspired great things doesn't make it worthy of continued existence.

This is the literature equivalent of Virgin Mary statues in an old bathtub on the lawn
