I guess I did miss the point but for the life of me, I can’t see past this total lack of compassion or was it compassionate? Please explain further so that I can understand. I’ve read it again a few more times and I still can’t see past this loss and missed opportunity. I wish I could understand.

Tell you the truth, there should be a discussion group on this because now it’s going beyond commenting and turning into a fully blown debate. Anyway, any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Help me to see what you see please. There must be another way but what way is that?

“Then the King will say to those on the right, `Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ “Then these righteous ones will reply, `Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ And the King will tell them, `I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,you were doing it to me!’”

I understand that the sun was actually smaller than the world it shone on and may not have been powerful enough to have hydrogen burning at it’s core thus some weaker material would have had to be used unless magic was combined with that weaker material. I also understand that the sun wasn’t considered to be a star but a planet and the moon was considered to be a planet in it’s own right with a rocky body and the atmosphere of all 3 bodies was encased by a dome. That means, even if you went beyond the narnian sky, you would still be able to breathe. Because Narnia was a magical world, the laws governing that place would be slightly different so it’s possible for that life could be sustained by a weaker sun.

Then time was seriously messed up. What I found was that if time was unaltered, then the end of the narnian world would have taken place in 12 to 24 hours. That means that before that time, the sun still had thousands of years left to sustain life. Also, the time giant didn’t actually do very much except for playing the horn and destroying the sun. At least that’s how it looks like on the surface. So what actually happened there? How did the sun lose so much energy in only 24 hours? According to the book itself, some parts of the ending of the world seemed to take place in a few minutes and other parts seemed to take years. So either time was stretched, compressed and shaped to allow those events to happen in that time frame and the sun was for some reason held back or it really did happen in 12 to 24 hours and the sun just rose in it’s normal time like any other day but the perceptions of the people was changed so they believed that those events took thousands of years. Also I noticed that life and death was significantly sped up so the decaying of the bodies of the strange creatures may have happened over a matter of minutes or even seconds. Also, how did Narnia come to amass so much water that it covered the whole world? The only way for that to happen is if half of it’s water was in it’s atmosphere just like in the bible in Noah’s time. However, it did not rain at that time and unless water came out from under the rock then I have no other way of explaining it.

Another question also comes to mind. In this time distortion stretching period, let’s for a moment assume that it took more than 24 hours for this argument to work. During the span of millennia, it seemed like the sun was being held back from rising at it’s normal time until the water flooded the world and the sun was weak enough to dye. My question is, who or what held the sun back? Where was it when it was being weakened? I understand it also grew in size as well so what was actually happening ‘off screen’ so to speak? Since the world was magical, it could sustain itself indefinitely so someone would have had to actually destroy it.

Aslan did say to his friends that he had some work to do before actually calling to the time giant to wake up. So he was actually the one who destroyed the world but he had to do it in such a way that the others would think it happened naturally! He got the giant to call everyone home. That’s the good part and the only part I’m okay with. He didn’t want anyone to be destroyed and the bad guys fait isn’t known. The part I’m not okay with is when he held back the sun from rising. He intentionally weakened it to make it dye and okay, let’s personify again, the sun had no choice but to commit suicide. Being in love with the moon, how could he not call and bring her over? How could she not comply? They waited so long to be together and this was their chance. Unfortunately, the sun was old and his time was running out. The sun, excited by the moon’s presence, brought her up to him so they could embrace for the last time. They knew however that the moment would be all too brief hence the reason why the sun made everything look red. I would be angry and sad to if I were to embrace my lover for a brief moment only to be ripped away in my final moment. I believe that’s what happened with the sun and moon. Still rebelling, still fighting death even though there was no hope and because they have no souls, they knew they wouldn’t exist after that. There would be no afterlife for them.

So I ask you, what evil is so great that it would destroy love in such a manor? Who would be brave enough to do that and then be able to look at themselves in the mirror later? Is there any justice in the Narnian world? I also understand that the giant was used like a tool, forced to kill mindlessly like a zombie and the thanks he gets? He’s rewarded by not being allowed to enter through the door where all the other people are. He’s forced to stay out in the cold, drab world with nothing to do but kill.

So you can imagine how I feel about all this. Maybe I shouldn’t read too much into it. Maybe I should just loosen up but how can I ignore such blatant cruelty? How can I ignore such horror? If I could do something about it, I surely would. If anyone opens a narnian mud, then please let me know. Mud stands for multi user dungeons like a text adventure but online. Anything, any info would be greatly appreciated. Please also Email me at brotheramin@hotmail.com for a quicker response. My thanks to you all!!!
