More recently, however, I’ve begun to take on a different though process which is more along the lines of that which is seen in C.S. Lewis’s The Last Battle. In the essay we read, Worthy of a Better God, James Sennet presents us with the ideologies that people may believe in when it comes to heaven or the afterlife.

believed that the era that they lived in was the fifth era, and at the end of this was the conclusion of existence, so that’s why they had sacrificed people for the blood. They would offer this blood to the sun god so he could make their era last longer.
