If the planet Narnia thesis is correct, which I think is likely the case,Aslan should be feminine in Magician's Nephew to match Venus theme.
How is that making it better. How can the suffering of anyone restore the glory of God! Let alone the suffering of the only begotten. He who has no delight in the death of the wicked will surely not delight in the pain of his beloved.

Too many clergy talk about Christianity in terms of ‘my faith journey’ etc as if Christianity were just a private matter rather than an adamant claim about the open and public manifestation of God himself in history, upon which all legitimate order must now in some way be based.

I don't think you can really understand the dispute between the Pope and the Trump administration unless you understand the bizarre phenomenon of post-Christian Christianity.

Those who pray are aware of their own limitations; they do not kill or threaten with death. Instead, death enslaves those who have turned their backs on the living God, turning themselves and their own power into a mute, blind and deaf idol (Ps 115:4–8), to which they sacrifice every value, demanding that the whole world bend its knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life. #Peace

The attack by Christian apologetic upon the adulthood of the world I consider to be in the first place.pointless, in the second ignoble, and in the third un-Christian.

Ultra Processed Food, and the system that produces it, has overtaken tobacco in terms of health and economic harms, and is also the leading cause of plastic pollution, loss of biodiversity and deforestation, and the second leading cause of emissions.

Having very little meaningful connection with anyone, and working to barely make rent each month (let alone buy somewhere) will make anyone miserable.
John Gray put it to me like this: at least peasants under European feudalism had the promise of the afterlife.
Look forward to reading how Andrew P. Campbell's reading of P. T. Forsyth looks like

Leading theologians like Ruether, Brock, Weaver, and Girard are abandoning divine sanction of the cross, reframing atonement around Christ's life rather than death. Andrew P. Campbell offers fair analysis of this revolutionary shift.
