The Screwtape Letters is a book written by C S Lewis. It is based on the imagination of C S Lewis where the senior evil spirit instructs the junior evil spirit on ways to tempt human being. The senior evil spirit's name is Screwtape and the junior's Wormwood. Both of them work for their Father Below so that their patient i.e the human, would remain in their side.
In the first chapter, the Screwtape writes to the Wormwood to keep the patient away from argument. The reason is that argument leads a man to the side of the truth. So to prevent that Wormwood should infuse jargon and distract him from clear reasoning process. Wormwood should also prevent his patient from reading Science as if this would draw him away from Christianity. Just confuse this thinking -- must be the approach. If the patient gets into Science, for example, that would lead him into enemy's territory.
