What a great strawman you construct here. One way to build a false argument is to claim that another person argument was designed in response to something that it was never designed to address. And that's what you do here. But apparently you are merely responding to certain Christians who use Lewis' argument for purposes it was never intended for. Lewis made this argument against a particular form of unbelief. It was stated in response to those who believed Christ existed and that He was indeed a religious philosopher and teacher of good ethics (the parable of the Good Samaritan comes to mind) but who reject the claims that he is God's unique Son or that He is God in the flesh. The whole point of his argument is that you can indeed call him a lunatic or a liar.. you can even claim he did not exist! Lewis' argument isn't meant to address these at all! It is meant to address the claim that He existed as a good teacher only. The point is that if Jesus existed and said the things related in the Gospel accounts, then He could not be merely a good teacher, or even a good teacher at all. A simple good teacher would not make the claims Christ made about Himself, for if they did, they would no longer be a good teacher. They would be either a madman or a liar. In another classic spin on Lewis' point, a student of Lewis summed it up with an addition: "He was either a Liar, a Lunatic, a myth or He is Lord... He cannot be merely a good teacher." Get it? So in a sad and fitting way, Lewis' argument actually agrees with some of what you say.

Sucks to your auntie!
Sorry, but every time I read it it makes me laugh so hard! And it is the one that has really stuck with me.
Not good for a school project, though, sorry.
Any quote from Ch. 11 Castle Rock will do. Very good stuff in there.

Ralph's snarky response to Piggy in regards to why he isn't swimming, after Piggy said its because he had asthma.
"Sucks to your assmar"
(Yes he says "assmar" and that's how it's spelled in the book.)

i would go with the chants of the boys when they kill the pig. you know, kill the pig, smash its head, spill its blood, etc. they are the most disturbing to me. it's been years since i read Lord of the Flies, but those words still stand out to me.

These must be memorable, since I read/had it read to me in grade eight or so, so like 25 years ago, and haven't read it since:
You can't half swim.
I've got the conch.
They let the bloody fire out.

This is our island. It's a good island. Until the grown-ups come to fetch us we'll have fun.
