When a wizard, or witch was found they were put to death. The story was made up by a man and has nothing to do with the Bible. There is only one was to heaven and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for all that would believe. He died for our sins. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Israel.He will come back one day to rule on the earth.

I've never heard that. I tend to go with the second poster's breakdown. I know that the Chronicles of Narnia are Christian books, but I think your argument (while amusing) is a little thin.

Your question is phrased wrong based on your information. It would make it an Atheist tale.
