As reading this I was still a bit lost, but mutteled through. I am choosing to write on the fourth letter. I thought the discussion on prayer was very interesting. I liked how Screwtape was coaching Wormwood on how the patient should pray. I thought it amusing that he did want him to pray spontaneously, so as to be led towards a superficial path. He encourages Wormwood to focus on the fact that the patient hasn't seen the luminosity of God so are coming at it from a completely different angle.The whole discussion on “the enemy” as God is called, was quite amusing. In this the incarceration and the other two parts of God are discussed. Overall this was a confusing but rather amusing letter.

I agree that this was an interesting letter. I also found interesting what he had to say about the patient praying over an object that was made by whom made the patient.
i also chose this letter for my blog and also agree that it was an interesting read.the way that screwtape tried to sway the patient away from praying to god, who is the 'enemy', and in a way he felt was right was also contradictory to what most of us believe in both prayer as well as what is considered evil.
