(I suspect this has something to do with finding out my beloved Narnia books were Christian allegory right at the height of my teenage rebellious years. I still feel BETRAYED.)
My betrayal still runs strong as well, but not as strong as most; I suspect this is because I was always an outsider to Christianity, so had less trouble making it one mythology among many. (When it has aesthetic appeal. Lots of Christian stuff doesn't.)
Just re-read The Last Battle when I taught it last semester and was overly amused at the Stable which is Bigger on the Inside. But these days I see lots of things with TARDIS-shaped/colored goggles. CURSES ON YOU, WHO!
