Cogent points from CS Lewis' "Mere Christianity"


"Enough Already!" says the big guy to the punk bully.  

The justice of it illustrates C.S. Lewis' Law of Nature point perfectly:  There is written on the heart of every human, a right and wrong barometer.  The author of that Law is the Creator God.  Lewis sticks the point with this argument: No one would defend the bully by saying that it is fine to swear and punch someone who is just standing around minding their own business.  Everyone innately knows that pressing a fight with inflammatory language and bodily assault is wrong.  The argument does not lie there; all agree.  God's intrinsic law in action.
