Clive Staples Lewis Clive Staples (Jack) Lewis was born in Ireland, in Belfast on 29 November 1898. On volunteeringand serving in the army he was wounded in 1917 fighting in the trenches during World War 1. After the war, he attended university at Oxford. Soon, he found himself on the faculty of Magdalen College where he taught Mediaeval and Renaissance English. The wound he received in the First World War would affect him physically throughout his life, yet the Second World War had a more profound effect on his writing. The new mechanised and bureaucratised society that rose up during the war years held a fascination for him. more >>

Hey I'm a big fan of C.S. Lewis and agree with his views. I'm reading 'Mere Christianity' now and i just have this problem with the Law of Nature. Remember, i think he's a genius and hence i think he's right; so I'd love someone to blow this query out of the water.

I think he states that this 'standard' is ingrained in all (or most) of us, that we cannot get rid of it. This standard we all have he says must have been given to us by some other mind or being which is God. The problem i have is this: Could we not find or create this standard ourselves by simply putting ourselves in others shoes and treating others how we would like to be treated?

Cheers
Jack

After reading some of his books, I have come to love Lewis. He has been catapulted to the top of my favorite authors list. I can't wait to meet Lewis on the other side.
