Watching The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Professor, when talking with the children on the possible truthfulness of Lucy's tale of Narnia, used the same 'Lunatic, liar or Lord' argument I am told C. S. Lewis used as an argument for Jesus as Christ.

Now I am wondering if this is from the novel or if it were added in to the film. It never seemed a convincing argument, since there seemed far too much unexamined space in the first two parts of the trilemma. I have not yet seen Lewis' own formulation, though (beyond this).

I...am pretty sure they added it to the most recent film, though I will not say with unequivocal certainty.

Pleh. C.S. Lewis. =p

Unsure. Remember being irritated with the incompleteness and ... assumption of trust? in argument, yet happy that they moved on and went on with the story. Can't really remember...
