· CS Lewis argued that all humans are by nature hungry because food has been made to
satisfy our hunger. He also argues that mankind seeks to meet the longing in their hearts for someone or something “outside” themselves. This is seen in the limitless expressions of religion, which is man trying to fill the legitimate spiritual void in their souls. Our soul is the sphere by which we can relate to and know God.
