Productions like THIS are the sweetest part of the internet and UA-cam. I’m truly thankful to find these clever renderings!! Major kudos to the author(s)!!
Cs Lewis continues to blow my mind. His philosophy about the faith is so rich! One would have to be mad not to agree with him. And to think my God set all of these things before us to make it undeniable that He exists among us. Praise Jesus the Lord Almighty!
The analogy of the ships, is so on point. It makes it so clear why people can not just say "Everyone should be able to do whatever they like if it does not directly affect other people", which I hear so much in any form or shape.
That's the thing, sin never stays a private concern or 'on ones own boat' as C.S. Lewis says. It always spills over somehow, causes your ship to crash into other ships and always ends up hurting innocent people. As Elihu said in Job 35: "Your wickedness affects a man such as you, And your righteousness a son of man". Fortunately righteousness spills over too...
@@xWhiplasher See Lewis explain it here 6:50 and here 10:30 “What is the good of telling the ships how to steer so as to avoid collisions if, in fact, they are such crazy old tubs that they cannot be steered at all? What is the good of drawing up, on paper, rules for social behaviour, if we know that, in fact, our greed, cowardice, ill temper, and self-conceit are going to prevent us from keeping them? I do not mean for a moment that we ought not to think, and think hard, about improvements in our social and economic system. What I do mean is that all that thinking will be mere moonshine unless we realise that nothing but the courage and unselfishness of individuals is ever going to make any system work properly”.
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis seems an excellent resource for a doodle to make it easier to understand and follow through. Man making himself better never seems to work as well as man allowing God to do the work.
Lewis expands on the last part of this radio talk in an essay: "...In the same way a Christian and a non-Christian may both wish to do good to their fellow men. The one believes that men are going to live for ever, that they were created by God and so built that they can find their true and lasting happiness only by being united to God, that they have gone badly off the rails, and that obedient faith in Christ is the only way back. The other believes that men are an accidental result of the blind workings of matter, that they started as mere animals and have more or less steadily improved, that they are going to live for about seventy years, that their happiness is fully attainable by good social services and political organisations, and that everything else (e.g., vivisection, birth-control, the judicial system, education) is to be judged to be 'good' or 'bad' simply in so far as it helps or hinders that kind of 'happiness'. Now there are quite a lot of things which these two men could agree in doing for their fellow citizens. Both would approve of efficient sewers and hospitals and a healthy diet. But sooner or later the difference of their beliefs would produce differences in their practical proposals. Both, for example, might be very keen about education: but the kinds of education they wanted people to have would obviously be very different. Again, where the Materialist would simply ask about a proposed action 'Will it increase the happiness of the majority?', the Christian might have to say, 'Even if it does in increase the happiness of the majority, we can't do it. It is unjust.’ And all the time, one great difference would run through her whole policy. To the Materialist things like nations, classes, civilisations must be more important than individuals, because the individuals live only seventy odd years each and the group may last for centuries. But to the Christian, individuals are more important, for they live eternally; and races, civilizations and the like, are in comparison the creatures of a day. The Christian and the Materialist hold different beliefs about the universe. They can't both be right. The one who is wrong will act in a way which simply doesn't fit the real universe. Consequently, with the best will in the world, he will be helping his fellow creatures to their destruction." (Man or Rabbit, Lewis, 1946). More helps in the video description above.
Truly excellent - both the foresight and comprehension of C.S. Lewis, and the artwork which you add to compliment his writings. And the noises from the ships and sailors at the end of the movie The Guns of Navarone was a fitting touch and brought a smile :) Well done all.
Your drawings are amazing! My friend showed me one of your other videos to help explain something from social studies, and I was totally in awe the entire time. Thanks so much!
Love your work! So helpful to me and my small group studying this book! Thank you so much! Question, will you produce videos for the other chapters as well?
At about 3:20 he perfectly explains the social justice movement before it ever existed. He calls the individual embarking in that thought process a Prigg.

What is the dark piano song featured at 6:09?
It's Chopin's Funeral March.
CS Lewis definitely drove a manual
