Myth Became Fact by C.S. Lewis

In his essay, Lewis writes about an idea that was presented to him by a friend. His friend states that none of us are actually Christians and that Christianity was historically barbaric and that no modern person could possibly believe in it. However, Lewis comes back with the fact of persistance. He writes, "Why, on his view, do all of these educated and enlightened pseudo-Christians insist on expressing their deepest thoughts in terms of of an archaic mythology which must hamper and embarrace them at every term?" This quote is awesome. Lewis seems to cut right to the chase. What is it that causes us as christians to persist? If it was all just a myth, then I don't understand how Christianity would have survived through the ages.
