Lindsey Gilroy-C.S. Lewis

It seems as though many students discussed C.S. Lewis in their posts, which I will continue doing because of the amount of time that was spent mentioning him and his works. I have chosen the following quote from C.S. Lewis:

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."

Through my own analysis of this line I think it means that the presence of God is inescapable. No matter how hard you try to deny Him, there really is no possible way. Yes, individuals can reject church or temple or whatever their place of worship may be, but they cannot reject the world in which they live daily life. The world, sans the material items, are all part of God's creation. Even the material items which are man-made are constructed through a being which was created by God. It is inevitable to be faced with God's presence, even if it's just talking with others or sitting outside alone-through isolation there is even a heavy existence.
