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
