What, I thought about the screwtape letters, it appears to be a battle against his soul, for good or evil. for him to decide what to believe or not to believe. The thing I observed about the letters , was the battle with self, whether or not God is real or just an spiritual myth. The person in the letter where talking about people being materalistic and caring more about earthy items than spiritual grow or connection with God, which may be a form of distraction from the devil.The person in the letter also battles with the belief that people go to God only to receive gifts and to get help when they are in trouble, not knowing if he believes there really is a God because he is not known in the flesh but in the spirit. Is there an God? Yes, I do believe in God and that he is real. I also believes that there is an devil out there that convince people to do evil things and tries to block your mind ,to keep you from connecting and worshiping God. I don't think the devil wants you to know your purpose in life , which can keep you from knowing who you truly are.I also believes the devil wants people to believe that that things in their lives are so out of control or gone wrong that there is no way out, like he did in the screwtape letter. The devil try to keep conflict between the man in the letter and his mother, by making them be aware of their dislikes they have about each other.
What I think people ,including the one in the book should or need to do , is learn how to forgive and talk to one another, so that they can resolve , whatever negative feelings they have towards one another. I believe that we should read our bibles and pray more so that we can develop a relationship with God , so that we may learn how to deal with conflicts, and self destruction battles within ourselves.
