Week 1 Discussion Questions

Yo fools. This is a little late in the week to have prepared for Saturday, but maybe we'll go over them depending on what you guys bring. Anyway, this will be a good indicator of what to expect from discussion questions in the future.

Letter 1:

Why does Screwtape tell Wormwood that argument and logic are not the way to lead a man astray?
How did Screwtape lead his atheist patient away from becoming a believer?
Why are demons supposed to avoid teaching their patients?

Letter 2:

Even though Wormwood’s patient has become a Christian, how does Screwtape say that they can win him back to “Our Father Below”?
Why is the church an ally to the demons? Why is it a disappointment to humans?
Why does God leave man to reach His goals for him on his own? Why doesn’t He carry him there?
What thought is it that seems impossible for Wormwood to keep out of his patient’s head? What does Screwtape say about this thought?

Letter 3:

How does Screwtape say Wormwood should use the patient’s relationship with his mother?
How does Screwtape instruct Wormwood to render his patient’s prayer life useless? What things does he have the patient pray for and what things does he have the patient avoid?
How does Screwtape say that facial expressions and tone of voice can be used to separate the patient and his mother more and more?


God bless you all and see you Saturday!

Pat
