Then, after the show and a ten minute delay, the actor reappeared on stage, having removed his costume and makeup, to take questions from the audience about the show. It is always a risky thing to offer an audience to the general public because of the undeniable fact that most people are idiots. Sure enough, about four questions in, an older man stands up and offers the following gem. Ok, remember what this play was about, something that it might be easy enough to discover simply by the play’s name...The Reluctant Convert. It is the story of how an avowed atheist, and renowned scholar of classic literature went from being an atheist to becoming perhaps the greatest apologist since the Apostle Paul over a period of 20 years:
“Can you explain to us how it is that C S Lewis went from being a devoted atheist to an ardent believer??”
To which Max McLean relied, “What? Would you like me to do the play again?”
Perfect. Answer.
As that other noted philosopher and scholar, Bugs Bunny would say...what a maroon!!!
