I really wonder what that says about Narnia and Christianity - that non-Christians see something very different from the all-encompassing love and compassion that Christians/Aslan sell themselves with. Right?! It's sad, but also beautiful. I was reading a book called 'Abandon' by Pico Iyer and it talks about how the love for god is just like the love for a lover and it is GREAT. Freedom through submission, subsuming yourself into a higher identity, accepting trial and judgment, and a love that is basically just loyalty and passion. Well, not 'just', 'cos loyalty and passion are big things. Like, basically the feeling of being ENGULFED.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I recently came across a website about Christian BDSM (!) and it was like, "The difference between this and secular BDSM is that we follow the teachings of the Bible in that the woman is always submissive to the man." And I was like D:!!!
