Letter 25

I thought this blog was very interesting and easy to relate to. In this letter, Screwtape was upset because the patients friend is a Christian. Of course he doesn't want this. He refers to Christianity as a trend and doesn't want the patient to be friends with him because he believes that he will be influenced by his religion. A lot of people believe this as well. They don't want people's spiritual beliefs to rub off on them because they don't want to be "brainwashed" and I think that is wrong. We are given free will. If you want believe something believe it. If not, don't believe it. People who are Christians though should not force their beliefs on others though. It is up to a person to determine what they believe in. It seems like a lot of people like to force ideas on others and this is not what God wants.
