"
From Robert says, Hi, Matt. I enjoyed your thoughts on Pascal's wager. I agree that it's the weakest Christian argument. I think the best Christian argument, at least one of the best, is one from C.S. Lewis saying that Jesus must have either been Lord, lunatic, or liar... That's from Mere Christianity. C.S. Lewis says, ... I'm trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about him.

They mentioned C.S.Lewis's The Screwtape Letters as a counterintuitive story where a devil trains an apprentice devil on how to tempt humans.
"
I think C.S. Lewis, he wrote Screwtape Letters in that story. It's counterintuitive a little bit, but it's a devil training an apprentice devil how to tempt and torment and get the human. He says to the apprentice devil, he says, our cause is never more in jeopardy, meaning that Satan's cause is never more in jeopardy than when a human looking around on a universe and sees no evidence of God and still obeys.
