A Pretend Conversation Between the Sayings of an Ex-Atheist and an Ex-Christian Lewis: I believe in Christianity as I believe in the risen sun: not only because I can see it‚ but because it illuminates everything else. Pullman: Christianity is a powerful and very convincing mistake. You must know this. Lewis: The sun in the sky‚ the creatures of the world‚ the earth and all of its elements.

It is easy to notice a similarity on the surface of two things that look alike‚ but when two stories are completely different in their content‚ it is not easy to detect a similarity. For instance‚ after we read for the first time “The Necklace” by Guy De Maupassant and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Mary Flannery O’Connor‚ we cannot connect these two tragedies together.
