A 1-minute summary of Morford:

He loved Narnia as a kid. Upon seeing the movie and re-checking the books, he has decided that Narnia sucks. It's childish. It's Christian. Only a naive little child would tolerate such childish tripe. He is beyond that now. The only good thing about the movie was the portrayal of Evil. He found that quite attracttive.

I actually re-read the series a short time ago. I bought them for my Goddaughter, and I read her a couple of chapters a night for a month or so. Having recently heard the crys from the left that they were Christian propaganda (and having read them as a kid without realizing this), I was amazed at how well-written they are. There is tons of Christian symbolism that goes right over your head (and obviously any 8 year-old's head) unless you are specifically looking for it.

You do quite an excellent job at making him sound like Eustace Scrubb's parents.

When he was a child, he thought as a child and acted as a child. Now that he's an adult, he has put away childish things--and begun acting like a bitter, cynical old atheist.

Nice.
