Summary and Response of "The Rival Conceptions of God"

C.S. Lewis’ article “The Rival Conceptions of God” is about different religions and what they believe in. Some believe that God is above all the good and bad in the. The article also talks about how a majority of humanity believes in some type of God or gods. Pantheists believe that everything in the universe is directly connected to God. If the universe didn’t exist, God wouldn’t exist. On the other hand, Christians believe that the universe would not exist if God had not made it. Another viewpoint the article talks about is how people see good and bad. Some say killing something that can be harmful is good, while others say killing something harmful is bad because you are killing it.
This article made me think. I had to think about and read it several times before I finally understood it. Even then I’m not sure how well I really do understand it. But, overall, I was fascinated with the ways people think of the world and the different ideas they have about God. I always thought there was just one way with different versions of how it happened, but after reading this article I now know that there is actually two very different versions. Consequently, this article has helped me learn more about my religion and its beliefs versus other religions and their beliefs.
