But I have to say I fell in love with Aslan who made me see that Jesus is really a cute and adorable feline who also has a savage roar. He also seemed like kind of a wimp the way he let people push him around and was always turning the other cheek.

And a lot of his ideas seemed radical and socialistic, all of those pronouncements against rich people, throwing the moneychangers out of the temple, coddling prostitutes like Mary Magdalene and illegal immigrants in the story of the Good Samaritan. With his long hair and beard he always seemed like a hippie to me. Now I must admit that I have always had problems before with the image of Jesus. Later we learn that one of the things she does is ban Christmas from Narnia and seeing this made me realize why it so important that we fight the people waging the War on Christmas. It's clear to me now (though I didn't understand this when I first read the book) that the Turkish Delight is supposed to represent Islam and the White Witch is a terrorist. Unfortunately, one of the other children goes through the closet and instead of meeting a nice faun he meets the evil White Witch who seduces him with Turkish Delight. It reminded me of a special friendship I once had when I was young with an older man carying an umbrella who also made me promise not to tell anyone. The girl who first enters this magical land, called Narnia, meets a very nice faun carrying an umbrella who invites her to his house but makes her promise not to tell anyone. I have not had a chance to read the Bible yet but I am very much looking forward to reading about fauns and talking animals and all of these other magical biblical creatures.

It is in fact a door to a land full of mythological creatures. This closet soon turns out to be more than your usual closet. I am not sure what being in the closet is a metaphor for (I am very new at this Christian allegory stuff) but I do know it awakened in me feelings of being safe and secure.

In this big country house where they are staying one of the children discovers this closet and goes inside. The film is about British children who have been sent to the country during World War II when London is being bombed.

But before seeing the movie that is practically all I heard to the point that it was difficult to see the movie as anything but a Christian allegory. I had read the Narnia books when I was young and enjoyed them very much but had no idea they were supposed to be a Christian allegory. Over the holidays I went to see The Chronicles of Narnia and it had a very profound affect on me: It made me a Born-Again Christian.
