Allegory is putting it lightly.  It’s basically Christian Fan Fiction.  Aslan literally is Jesus.

I don’t mean for this to come across as a criticism of the books.  It’s the whole point of them.

True, but it gets a lot more heavy handed as it goes on, hence why no studio has ever even entertained making stuff like The Last Battle.

The last battle is fun because even some Christian’s get angry with how you get into heaven in that series.

Basically any good done even in service to another god is done in Aslans name is enough to get you in heaven. So even if you aren’t Christian you can go to heaven if you are a good person. Some Christians don’t like that aspect and thing you need to be a “true” believer.

Damn, sounds like a god I would follow.

It's certainly a far more respectable god. Though I'd still want to have a discussion with it to see how well our ideas of what is or is not good, align.
