My Choice-Mere Christianity-Melissa Faller

In his book Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis writes about the argument for morality. He explains that individuals are born with a sense of right and wrong. This sense of right and wrong is given to us and allows us to interact in society. However, he also clarifies that although we know right from wrong this does not mean that humans follow the law. This is how Lewis explains that in order to understand Christianity one must understand the moral law of Christianity. He suggests that society would not urge for something that did not exist. An example that he uses is that we would not be thirsty if water did not exist, or if we didn’t need water. This suggests that humans search for a God because they feel they long for God and that the moral law is in place because of God. Lewis suggests that we can either believe in God or we can believe that the world was created through the big bang theory. Lewis suggests that a God rather than a big bang created the world. He supports this idea with the moral law, others urge for something more, and his experiences while practicing Christianity.
