That's the whole premise of Narnia, would Jesus appear to different worlds or in other universes?

Redpill me on the Chronicles of Narnia. My parents took me to watch the first films on the movies when I was a kid but I never liked them
Jump in the discussion.

The movies are extremely
but the books are fantastic children's stories with very clear redemption arcs and moral teachings along with a Christ allegory in Aslan the lion. CS Lewis was a close friend of Tolkein who was converted by him to become Christian and went on to write popular apologetics works (Screwtape Letters being the best but Mere Christianity the most popular). Like LotR it's implicitly Christian without being overtly so. Lewis created Aslan to answer the alien Jesus question.
It's one to check out maybe when you have kids as night time stories when they're in kindergarten-early elementary school.

I was 8 when the first film came out, I didn't like the faun guy and when Santa Claus showed up I was like "who's this guy" and my dad whispered "Papai Noel (Santa Claus)", and I was like "it can't be, that doesn't make sense". But I thought the lion dying was super sad
Who reads novels to toddlers?

It's extremely important for early childhood development to read to kids. All of my siblings and I could read at a late high school/college level by the time we were around 10, and I don't think it was genetics or whatever just good parenting.
I was in kindergarten when my parents read them to me and I understood.
Also could comprehend Lord of the Rings a year or two later. Dad would ask us questions to check our comprehension and define the vocabulary if it went past us.

I agree on that but toddlers need something digestible to start. Narnia and LOTR seems a bit dense for 4-6 years old, the Hobbit or Roald Dahl are better choices at that age.
Define high school/college level. If I gave the 10 year old you a copy of "Lolita" would you get it?

I used to think I was special
because I read at a "college level" ars a kid
but its really just that most ppl don't improve past that point (and reach it later ig
)
listening to the avg student trying to read a paragraph in class was always a blackpill and it honestly never improved from elementary through HS and cleg
if they sounded like a robotic rslur and stumbled on every fourth word at age 11 they still would by age 20
im a social !r-slurs and cnt talk to ppl
but there's something that either clicked or didn't
I could always read like I was talking, with enunciation and all that. natty speech
some kids were just incapable. always going from word to word but never building a 'picture' of the whole sentence before speaking it
so they sounded like a robert.
nevertheless these same kids could run circles around me in actual conversation
and sound perfectly normal as I utter one-word responses at -6dB

!nooticers why's that the first book you suggest introducing a kid to
Thematically I'm not sure I picked up on Biblical allusions fully but yes if you start reading to kids while they're young and demand more of them they can and will rise to your expectations if you teach them while you go along. How do you think !Asians teach their kids calc in elementary/middle school? I have multiple
friends from school whose parents did that with them.

My dad read The Hobbit to me
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
The Hobbit is easily digestible and a good choice for 8-12 year old kids to get them into reading. My mom read me the Jungle Book and The Little Prince.
Narnia seems much more complex on a thematic level.

I got excited because I thought that you meant The Prince and leapt to the assumption that I'd finally heard of someone else who had to read Machiavelli as a child as well.

Narnia's prose is easier than the Hobbit IMO. And the books are shorter. The only book where you really need to understand the Christian symbolism is The Last Battle. The last act would just be confusing to a younger kid.

It's not even an allegory. Aslan straight up tells the childrens that he's the Narnian incarnation of Jesus.

I just checked I thought Narnia came first but the Space trilogy is a sci-fi LotR to Narnia's Hobbit in a lot of ways (no shared universe/characters though).

Narnia is a kid's series that's really about our world. Lewis actually has a much more interesting take on this in Perelandra, from the Space Trilogy. In that book, the parts of God's plan that seem central on Earth may seem peripheral from other parts of creation, and vice versa. But at any given place you look, you will find a real actual center of God's plan, each one feeding and strengthening all the others. It's all one big impossibly grand thing.
So we wouldn't necessarily expect to find an ayylmao Jesus (which could reduce him to a recurring pattern) but what we do find would give better context and meaning to our understanding of God's story. It would result in Christ feeling more special, not less, even as we learn new and incredible stories from elsewhere in the cosmos.
I suppose this risks diminishing the Trinity, but we could imagine that the Son concept is expressed differently elsewhere in the universe, and that it need not always take the form of a messianic teacher who comes down to die for sin.

Oh.... Ken Ham, a name that I do not hear since 2014, this brings me spiritual PTSD during my days in the New Atheist rabbit hole of the early 2010s, since Young Earth Creationism and the utterly insufferable behavior of Evangelicals was one of the main things that turned me into an Atheist at that time, I do not even like being reminded that Ken Ham exists, American Young Earth Creationists has been great at spreading Atheism much like how Reddit I HECKIN LOVE SCIENCE Atheists have been great at spreading Christianity.
American Fundamentalist Protestants and New Atheists are an Ouroboros, or twins separated at birth, they are unable to exist without each other.

every culture from the New World too the Old and the Orient have myths and stories of a great deluge. coincidence?
honestly very good logic. The leaps of logic you have too do too make humanity a descendant of a darn ape are tremendous, idk why atheists ever got up on their high horse when their creation myth is just as silly as the Christians.

ive actually been, its pretty cool from an amusement park standpoint and not as cool from a museum standpoint. the ark is suprisingly big and they nailed the atmosphere, but most of the
evidence 
is along the lines of "yeah they couldve done it like this and technically not died, idk" kinda like the excuses star trek makes for their loopholes but stone age bible themed
the answers in genesis museum right next to it is definitely more scholarly (mainly because ken ham didnt have as much control over it) and has normal exhibits like a carnivore plant swamp which is pretty cool, at the ark petting zoo i got to see 2 employees frantically try to stop 2 donkeys from fricking in front of some field trip kids which was funny
