I didn’t Need a Lodge or Anyone Else to Tell Me that C.S. Lewis’ Arguments in Miracles are Bad. I Saw the Bad Arguments for Myself

After Lundahl (2022j) accused me of getting my negative ideas on C.S. Lewis from the Masonic Lodge, I denied that absurd allegation in Henke (2022av). I have no connection whatsoever with the Masons or any other lodge. If Mr. Lundahl actually knew anything about the Masons, he would have known that agnostics and atheists are not welcome to join. You have to believe in some sort of Supreme Being to become a Mason and, as an agnostic, I would never admit to that. Mr. Lundahl needs to stop making baseless accusations against people he barely knows. Lundahl (2022s) then makes this statement:
“The fact that Henke had actually recently reread Miracles came as a fairly shocking surprise to me, considering how dense he is on its actual contents. Babble in environments similar to a lodge would be a guess I'd not rule out in such a case.”
Once more, Mr. Lundahl is groundlessly speculating about me. He has no evidence to support what he is making up and I don’t appreciate it.
I first encountered C.S. Lewis in college when I took a “masterpieces of philosophy and religion” course. At that time, I was not a Christian and the class read The Screwtape Letters. That was an enjoyable book. Once I became a Christian, I read Miracles and Mere Christianity. Those books were highly praised by other Christians, but I was disappointed. As I explained in Henke (2022ar), no one had to tell me that these books were poorly written and argued, I saw that for myself. Mr. Lundahl just simply cannot accept the idea that some of us have read C.S. Lewis’ books and we simply do not find them convincing (e.g., Henke 2022as). Furthermore, as I explain in Henke (2022ch), Mr. Lundahl’s understanding of Lewis (1960) is not as good as he thinks.
