Such a clear gospel message, according to some civil libertarians, has no place in the public schools. Barry Lynn, director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, says, "This whole contest is just totally inappropriate because of the themes of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It is simply a retelling of the story of Christ." I used to listen to Lynn years ago when he co-hosted a radio show with Pat Buchanan during the Clinton crime years.
Lynn was a Marxist on almost every issue. Intelligent, but totally without wisdom. It was very clear, however, that what drove him over the edge was Christianity. His demeanor on the air would change as quick as the blink of an eye, and he became horribly agitated by any mention of the faith.
"Intelligent, but totally without wisdom."
I think it's possible to be verbally facile without having any significant degree of intelligence.
If you talk smart, people will often presume you are smart (until you contradict them), but it ain't necessarily so.
