Sigmund Freud, C.S. Lewis debate existence of God

Post Gazette: In the play "Freud's Last Session," the father of psychoanalysis debates author C.S. Lewis about the existence of God. The imagined meeting takes place as Great Britain is plunged into World War II and hard-line atheist Sigmund Freud is homebound, dying of cancer. He is visited in his study by Lewis, a convert to Christianity who has parodied nonbeliever Freud in the book "The Pilgrim's Regress."
