C.S. Lewis, who the
church at large respects as a Christian apologist
and author, wrote that Jesus created a delusion for
his followers!
"'Say
what you like,' we shall be told, 'the
apocalyptic beliefs of the first Christians have
been proved to be false. It is clear from
the New Testament that they all expected the
Second Coming in their own lifetime. And, worse
still, they had a reason, and one which you will
find very embarrassing. Their Master had told
them so. He shared, and indeed created, their
delusion. He said in so many words, 'this
generation shall not pass till all these things
be done.' And He was wrong. He clearly
knew no more about the end of the world than
anyone else.' It is certainly the most
embarrassing verse in the Bible." Essay
"The World's Last Night" (1960), found in The
Essential C.S. Lewis, p-385.
C. S. Lewis—Who He Was & What He Wrote (Keepers
of the Faith) Quote from article:
Should
there be any doubt about
Lewis’
theosophism or his activity in occultism?
Consider the company he kept. He was a star
member of The Inklings. The Inklings was a
literary group that met in taverns to trade
ideas and discuss how their work should impact
society. Many had theosophical affiliations, not
the least of which was Aleister
Crowley,
member of the Order of the Golden Dawn, who
called himself “The Great Beast” and “the
wickedest man alive.”

Tolkien and

Quotes from this article:
Thus the
author of The Lord of the Rings denied the
very thing that some Christians today are claiming,
that these fantasies are an allegory of Christ’s
victory over the devil."
Dungeons and Dragons, which appeared in
the early 1970s, was based on Tolkien’s fantasy
novels.
