I agree with most of his points, but did he overreact to the textbook? It's just being subjective about a waterfall bro. He should have found a better example to frame his arguments around.

Lewis wrote some of the best commentary on modern Christianity and then turned around and created the best fantasy world this side of Mordor. He is pretty accomplished.

What? Lewis wrote some great stuff. Check out The Screwtape Letters and Till We Have Faces.

Yet his work remains honest and insightful regardless of whether or not you are religious or not. Only apologist I have read who has pointed out that it is absurd to accept Christ's moral teaching, but to reject Christ himself. Either have to keep both, or reject both.

Which of his books is that presented? Mere Christianity? I would like to read his reasoning.

Yes, that's Mere Christianity IRC. It falls under his "Lord, Liar, Lunatic" argument; Jesus was either the son of God, a liar looking for glory, or a madman roaming the desert (or, maybe just a fable all together).
