:: Then what the hell does the wardrobe represent? ::

I just found out last night that C.S. Lewis’ Narnia Chronicles were an extended, hyper-elaborate Christian allegory. I didn’t know that, but apparently I was the only one. That sucks. Why didn’t anyone tell me that? I was 7 for crying out loud, and devoid of the necessary religious inculcation to pick up on the allusions. Now it’s tainted forever. Stupid religion. All I wanted was a well-crafted escapist fantasy.

I guess though that for pure, unmitigated (and downright zany) escapism-with-a-moral, you can’t beat religion. But then again, I never believed that Narnia was real, even when I was 7...
