C. S. Lewis wrote in The Abolition of Man that “You can’t go on ‘seeing through’ things forever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.” … We’re trying to deconstruct things to get people to see something else. … We have a hope that goes beyond this world, and we want to point that out. That is where we see satire fitting into a biblical worldview. … Let’s communicate truth to a culture that many times does not believe in an objective, universal truth any longer. — Kyle Mann, Interview with The Atlantic
