As good a course of action today as it was two thousand years ago.
"When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis
The classic battle between Bible and Pedo.
a) You're probably thinking of Lewis Carroll, not C. S. Lewis
b) Lewis Carroll's supposed paedophilia is still an open question for Carroll scholars - apparently most of the evidence put forward in support of the theory is either speculation ("the page of his diary covering this date is missing, so it must have been his record of proposing to Alice Liddell!"), since debunked (claims that Dodgson had no interest in women coming from his family having suppressed mention of more scandalous (by the standards of the day) relationships with adult women rather than those relationships not having existed), or broadly applicable to large sections of Victorian society (child nudes being a staple of the day with no prurient implications). The current situation seems to be that there's no smoking gun to show his interest in girls was unsavoury, but there are gaps in the record meaning it's not possible to prove it wasn't.
