Whoa, there will never be enough D: in the world to respond to that.

Have you ever read any of C.S. Lewis's non-fiction work? He is ALL ABOUT Christians expressing their love for God by submitting and being subsumed. In VotDT, when Aslan turns Eustace from a dragon back to a boy, it's a blatant metaphor for the Christian submitting to God's purification and forgiveness. Eustace by himself could not shed his dragon skin (sin) because there was always a layer underneath, and in the end, Eustace had to submit himself completely to Aslan in order for the lion to cut all the sin away and then literally drown him in grace (in the purifying well).
