Laughing in the Face of ‘Overwhelming Malice’

If desperate times call for desperate measures, then dark times call for dark jokes.

That's good medicine, laughing in his face

"Lewis does not apologize for the fact that The Screwtape Letters is an entertaining and amusing read. Indeed in the opening pages he quotes Martin Luther and St. Thomas More on the need to take Lucifer lightly. Luther says, 'The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn.' For his part, St. Thomas More writes, 'The devil…that proud spirit…cannot endure to be mocked.'"

Laughing at Lucifer with Lewis

For conservative Christians, Lent is not only the season to do good works, but it is also a holy season to engage in battle with the forces of darkness. Laughing at Lucifer in Lent is one of the ways to do so. Jeering and flouting him means that we are happy warriors. We are launching out on the spiritual battle with a spring in our step and a smile on our face.(essay by Dwight Longenecker)
