"Here are a few reason why I won't be watching and won't endorse his books or movies. Did Lewis believe in life on other planets, or just write stories about it. And is it heresy to believe in life on other planets? Is it essential Christian doctrine to believe that we are alone in the universe? So belief in personal responsibility is heresy? Now, the future does not rest with us. In fact, God could do anything he wanted without a single soul on this earth. If Asylan is God, then he wouldn't be saying this. God's intentions does not rest on our courage. Plain and simple. So let's party! Nothing depends on our choices anyway! Why does this Bible verse support such a radical conclusion. I think it heretical to call any God-given faculty evil. |

The Hebrew of Gen 8:21 can be translated "the devisings of man's mind". Though in the immediate context, the Lord is resolving to pity man for this and not destroy the earth again.
Of course, such an intrinsic evil can be easily extended to include the devisings of this fellow's mind in regard to judging that Lewis is going to hell--assuming he is worthy of answer in the first place. There are reasons why we are cautioned, numerous times in the NT, about judging. No mercy, no fairness, then none shall be given when _our_ turn comes.
(This comment has been a test of the Google blogcast system. If this had been an actual comment, Google wouldn't have told me I looked like an automatic spammer and then shut down the site to access altogether before I even reached the screen where, unlike an actual automatic spambot, I can type in a composite-built word that changes to where I have to type in different ones two or three times before the comment will be accepted anyway. {inhale} {glaring at Google and blogspot!} None of which stops spambots from reading a page, getting my info, and subsequently deluging my mailbox with quasi-porn ads, of course. {growl} If comments have been more infrequently recently, across the board, this may be why, btw.)

If using one's imagination is a sin, then I guess the prophet Nathan was going to hell as well for getting King David's attention in such an imaginative way.
Christians have damned one another for less.
I suspect the person is a Calvinist. Don't some Augustinians, Lutherans and/or Calvinists believe that not only the heart but even the human mind is depraved since "the fall," including the "imagination?"
Therefore, I don't think Vic's red letter comebacks are likely to make much of a dent in the person's beliefs.
