I've read a variety of opinions, or what people believe to be true. Apparently, you have adopted these as being close to your heart. Whereas, I see them as merely an expression of thought. It doesn't make them factual or something I desire to follow. Especially, if it creates an "us" and "them" mentality.
No one is greater or less-than, anyone else, period.
If you read other's opinion, why are you chastising me for reading CS Lewis? Like you, I don't always agree with other's opinions.

You're arguing for the sake of arguing.
I think what Jerwade is saying is going straight over your head. Jerwade is not dismissing opinion. CS Lewis was a man very much open to opinion, and loved being in the pub with great minds. He was not of the persuasion, you believe this or you perish.

I've only read "Mere Christianity". I found nothing that conflicted with scripture.

Nor did I.
OH! You must read 'The Screwtape Letters', jimmie...weird name...I think that is why some
have not read it..
but you only need 2-3 chapters to be highly entertained by the briliance!
That's an interesting question. I just thought you were trying to steer the topic in a different direction.
You can probably reconcile universalism with atonement.
But that's not what most Christians would ever do. My question is for the majority who seem to love the idea of hellfire, judgement and damnation.
No, the point is that your premise is faulty. If you wish to say that C. S. Lewis' perception of Atonement does not match the currently most popular concept of the mechanism of Atonement and that it seems to go hand in hand with his universalist views, you have a good point and most fundamentalists (especially "Reform") will happlily consign him to eternal torment, that goes without saying.
