Taylor clarified his free will room scenario.

The Silver Chair is Ben's favorite Chronicles of Narnia book.

A listener brought up Puddleglum's speech in The Silver Chair as an argument for continuing to be a Christian if you woke up and realized you had just dreamed Christianity emphasis mine:

All you've been saying is quite right, I shouldn't wonder. I'm a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won't deny any of what you said. But there's one thing more to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things--trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Supose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play-world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia.

Puddleglum, The Silver Chair

Ben says Puddleglum is rejecting false perception for reality, and Lewis was not claiming that perception was more important than reality.
