Screwtape Letters

When I read the Screwtape Letter, I was confused. The idea in this letter does not seems right to me, and I have no clue who Screwtape and wormwood is. However, when I read the guidelines given by Prof. Ribeiro, I found out that Screwtape and Wormwood are devils who want to make a young man who just believed in Christianity to become non-Christian again.
I was amazed by this idea. All the theological book I have read in my whole life is about "How Christian should behave" or "What Christians should do". This is the first time I have read something at the opposite view: a devil who wants to make a guy bad. It is very interesting.
There is also one interesting thing that Screwtape tell Wormwood:

"For this reason I am almost glad to hear that he is still a churchgoer and a communicant."

To Christians, going to church is a very simple thing, and we will take that as a good thing to do. However Lewis thinks that there are disadventages, which we also talked about this in class: the pros and cons of going to church. In offering session, some people will feel arrogant because they offered more than the people at the side; some people will fall asleep during sermon; some others will attend church regularly, but besides that they do nothing towards God - which is the so-called "Sunday Christians". Also, nowadays there are many young people who come to the church, pretending to be faithful Christians, and seek for a boyfriend and girlfriend. This phenomenon happens a lot in Hong Kong.
I remember the pastor from my Chinese church says that, "chruch is a very dangerous place, because it is a place where all people admit that they have sin!" Although it is a joke, somehow it is true. People who are most likely to be attacked by devils are Christians, just like what Wormwood does. So, we have to behave ourselves well. Don't think that constantly going to church means we are safe. We have to avoid devil to work in our heart.
