My, sometimes I hate how skeptic I have become of almost everything.
I’m trying to reread Narnia, but in the first book I’m just constantly thinking “Really, Aslan? Why would you do that?” or “Aslan, you are contradicting yourself”.
I feel like a lot of things just don’t make sense, like how he’s telling the talking animals not to drop to the level of the non-talking animals again, as if those are worth less, as if they are just stupid and inferior, while I thought he meant them all to be equals.
Then he goes on telling the new King that he should always attack first whenever there’s evil out there. I just don’t like him saying that. I think the new King and Queen of Narnia are meant to be peaceful and all, and to just tell them to always attack first seems a bit off to me.
Then again, Narnia and especially Aslan are greatly influenced by the Bible and religion, and well, lots of stuff in the Bible doesn’t make sense to me either. I mean, I just don’t see why people would believe that some kind of deity would, if he had the means to create a new and perfect world, choose to create a world that’s so unbalanced, where a small group of people holds all the power, whether in real life or Narnia.
I hate that it sort of killed Narnia for me.
