In the conclusion of this exerpt from Lewis' ingenious mind, He makes a point: " Those who do not know that this great myth became fact when the Virgin conceived are, indeed, to be pitied."
The meaning I get out of this passage, on a presonal level, is that Christianity is not necessarily synonymous with historal accuracy, but that should not matter. After all, isn't the Christian religion based on faith? I mean, maybe the birth of Christ etc. happened exactly the way it's presented in the Bible, and maybe it didn't. At any rate, there was a Christ and re-creating this scene every year at Christmas makes us feel more in touch with our spirituality. After all, isnt that what its all about?
I, like Louis, pitty those who are unable to make these event real simply by believing in them. To me, Christianity is synonymous with FAITH.
