C.S.Lewis and the Dangers of Pornograpy

I was searching Wade Burleson's blog for a different reason and bumped into this:

"Imaginary women are always accessible, always subservient, [give] no call for sacrifice or adjustment, and can be endowed with erotic and psychological attractions which no real woman can rival. Among these shadow brides, the viewer is always adored, always the perfect lover; no demand is made on his unselfishness, no mortification ever made on his vanity.  In the end imaginary women become the medium through which he increasingly adores himself. The main work of life is to come out of ourselves, out of the little dark prison of selfishness we are born in, to know God in the center of our being and from that place to offer ourselves for the sake of others. All things are to be avoided which retard this process. The danger of pornography is of coming to love the prison of self."
 ~ C.S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis and Creation

Now for something completely different.

Please excuse me while I scratch this Apologetics itch.
It has nothing to do with Driscoll, Wilson, SGM, misogyny, CBMW, or any other of my usual topics.
I'm really only posting it here for myself and for being able to find it again quickly when I have more time to read it all the way through.

I like C. S. Lewis. I'm gaining an appreciation for Apologetics. And I have a sizable concern over the terribly dogmatic nature that many Christians have on viewing Creation.

C.S. Lewis and the Myth of Creation (part 1)

And since I've gone way off already, I'll go ahead and link another article that I haven't read yet and cannot vouch for but that I would like to look at when I get more time.

Looking at the Collapsing Universe in the Bible

If I decide one or the other of these links are terrible and shouldn't be shared, I'll delete them later.
