Some of those people who write those fake Screwtape Letter passages write some good stuff.

I don’t think they are doing it out of malice. I think they mean for people to think.

One of them should start an Auntie Screwtape’s Blog or something like that so we can quote them via that.

Then they should be honest about it. There is a large cottage industry of fake quotes; I’ve run into many fake Thomas Jefferson quotes. There is a T.Jefferson site that has all the archives of his writings, and maybe contemporaneous quotes, on which one can search a quote to see if it is authentic. I’ve used that a lot.

Sorry, in my book falsely attributing work to an author is acting out of malice.
