It's more of a pouting expression when a child doesn't get his way.

But at least the thread is dead now that you've discovered you don't know a thing about Tolkien or C.S. Lewis who were both fine Christians!

I doubt you even read the books, or if you did, with no more attention to detail than you do the Bible.

No one said they were not fine Christians. LOTR is a very entertaining fantasy novel.

It is good we finally learned your 'spiritual' gems originate from Harry Potter.

I never said that I didn't love you! (Any more than I would any child).

Several of us have proved beyond the reasonable doubt of any half way intelligent person, that all those authors "witnessed" to the great themes of the Bible, including Rowlings quotation of resurrection theme Scripture in her works.

I didn't "learn" spiritual gems from the authors, but I do have enough of the Spirit of God to recognize them when they slap me in the face.

It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

You have made your choice to turn from the handwriting on the wall and be a "christian victim" of a "prejudiced" society.

Sure you did. It's why you feel like a "christian victim" of a "prejudiced" society

Finn, anytime you would like to make a contest out of seeking out posts of each other for where one of us cried, "Christians are always being picked upon," let me know! We'll soon find out who has posted it the most. I already know my count----ZERO. You've had so many that I'm not sure anyone could find them all.

I guess I must be able to find Scripture in "human" books----because I READ Scripture!

Who regarded CS Lewis as an expert on Christianity? That's quite a broad stroke of the brush. The only expert on Christianity is Jesus. All the others are only stating their opinion. And this "orthodox" stuff? No clue what you're blabbering about.
