Lewis writes a very compelling and risky piece about the validity of Christianity. His main point during the piece is whether or not Christianity is true. Now, obviously there is a Materialist and Christian argument, as Lewis points out. I considered myself a third while reading this essay, trying to distinguish the arguments of both sides and as a Christian I have to say that Christianity is true. But we need not forget that just because someone isn't Christian, doesn't mean they're wrong. Lewis sites examples of non-Christians who had formidable lives.
I think that some Christians have an arrogance about them, they think that they're high and mighty because they're Christian. This is wrong, we are all equal beings, I don't care if you're Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, Mormon, or even Athiest. Just because people have different beliefs doesn't make us better, and there are probably people of those religions who think they're better than Christians. God made us all equal so nobody is better than someone else, they may think that they are better but they aren't.
So when it comes to the question of is Christianity real i say yes, Christianity is as real as we want it to be. This kind of depends on how Christian you consider yourself, whether or not you are an active Christian, and just how much you really feel like arguing. But the essence of what I am saying is that everyone has a different belief of what they think is true and to that I say, let them think what they want, as long as a war doesn't over the validity of Christianity I fine with my ideation and I am sticking to it.

people are all equal, but as Christians we shouldn't really feel okay that people are being decieved by other religions. we can respect them and not hold ourselves higher than them, but we shouldn't accept that what they believe is okay as long as it doesn't interfere with us.
