Narnia, the New Bible

I don’t quite understand the commotion over the relationship between the film Narnia and Christianity. It is, after all, written by a Christian. If it contained no hint of Christian narratives and images, then it would have been shocking. As it stands, it is perfectly normal. And it is also normal that Disney would want to market it to the Christian communities. What is a bit unsettling is that some churches are using the cartoon images of the film to promote their religion. I would think that is at least a little blasphemous. It is like the Cardinal Glick in Dogma promoting a new “hip” image of Jesus. It cheapens the religion to the level of pop culture. “JC is cool like a two dimensional talking cartoon lion.” Talking about blasphemy. Some evangelicals are getting more and more this way, JCTV, Christian rock and all that. End is justifying the means, not very religious at all.
