That CS Lews quote is incredible...

It makes me think of a song I've been in love with lately by Fleetwood Mac called, "PeaceKeeper". I don't know if they wrote it about any conception of a Christian God or if they were just thinking of a personified image of peace, but regardless, there is some cool theology in that song AND it's a cool song. There is a verse about the power of friends' influence and our need to choose which influences we take on. It's the verse taht starts, "you know all of our friends are gods..." The CS Lewis quote touched on that in me. Here is the song: "we make all of our sons the same everyone will suffer the fire we've made they all explode just the same and there's no going back on the plans we've made peacekeeper take your time wait for the dark of night soon all the sons will rise peacekeeper don't tell why don't be afriad to fight love is the sweet surprise only creatures who are on their way ever poison their own well but we still have time to hate and there's still something we can sell peacekeeper take your time wait for the dark of night soon all the sons will rise peacekeeper don't tell why don't be afriad to fight love is the sweet surprise when the night is cold and still when you thought you'd had your fill take all the time you will this is not a test it's not a drill take no prisoners, break their will you know all of our friends are gods and they all tell us how to paint our face but theres only one brush we need it's the one that never leaves a trace peacekeeper take your time wait for the dark of night soon all the sons will rise peacekeeper don't tell why don't be afriad to fight love is the sweet surprise peacekeeper take your time wait for the dark of night soon all the sons will rise peacekeeper don't tell why don't be afriad to fight love is the sweet surprise when the night is cold and still when you thought you've had your fill take all the time you will this is not a test it's not a drill take no prisoners, break their will
