C.S. Lewis prefaces the Screwtape Letters with:
"Readers are advised to remember that the devil is a liar. Not everything Screwtape says should be assumed to be true even from his own angle".

Which makes The Screwtape Letters a bitch to read and Eric Metaxas' analogy suck.

Lewis comes pretty close to approximating a hellish POV, however. I believe Lewis followed this up by saying that wishful thinking exists in hell as well as on earth. Lewis’s devils (and perhaps real devils) sometimes fantasize things to be even worse than they are, which is actually pretty realistic. If you’re wanting to damn everything to hell, you’ll be biased to that interpretation of an ambiguous situation.
