and what happens when you see an image in the sky and hear a voice in your head? when everyone does? will you still believe in your god and your plan then?
I'm glad to join the AMA. The answer to your question was ably given by Puddleglum to the Green Witch. More is available.
Oh, but we do. I have no problem admitting that God creates all truth and the devil tries to corrupt and distort all truth every conceivable way. Good versus evil is accurate, but there is more to it than that. You choose your side based on which you think will "win", will obtain some incorruptible prize that is currently unheld by either side. What this forum teaches is that we have already won, we have it all, we are walking in daily victory, what we gain is never lost, and we will continue triumphing forever. (If momentary evidence seems to contradict these truths, then like Puddleglum we recognize that the God we serve must still be sought even when we do not see him; we recommit that pursuing him is our object regardless of apparent outcome.)
Everything you seek, we have. Everything the old serpent has "connected" is ours by right and we deign to demonstrate that at the time of our master's choosing. That includes the contract over your life. When you are ready we'll annul it and write you a new one with everything your heart has ever truly desired. There will come a time when this offer expires, but if you take one step at a time I think it won't expire before you take it. You cannot find a better deal.
You admit good and evil exist, that's one step. Now recognize that man desires good outcomes to happen to him, not evil things. Evil has no good things to offer. Evil that knows torture so well will not offer true power or life, you know that it lies when it pretends to promise. You know it so well that you don't believe good. A step you can take is to admit you ultimately desire good, not evil. You would if you could, and you can.

I've never actually read narnia, christian authors are discouraged and I was never curious enough to do so in secret.
looked for a video of puddleglum and all that comes up are transwitches spreading the seed of the new age: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse4.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOVP.80ORPz5Kn-Nnrz2Vyzh3_wHgFo%26pid%3DApi&f=1
