it's because he's too literal with the allegory. the example, that's something Old Testament God told people to do and they were always good for listening to him against all reason. it barely works within the original context, but then applying it to a fictional story with children as the MCs but having OT God still basically be the exact same as he is in the bible right down to the same thing he wants people to do...it doesn't work as a fairy tale nor as an allegory.

the more I think about it the more I feel like Tolkien was right to criticise him for how ill-thought-out his allegory was. Lewis was big on apologetics and trying to dumb down theology so that everyman and everychild could grasp it, but there's a lot of times where it doesn't quite work.

da The allegory really doesn't work. I will admit to still loving the stories, though. I just go "la, la, la" thought the bits I dislike.
