That post of mine was not about the books; but in general. I see people in general who are atheists are very rude and arrogant. I've had many debates with folks who don't believe in God. This is... |

There's a saying, it says :"A life of sin ends in sorrow sooner or later." So, Sauron's sinful life had to come to an end. Sooner or later. This sooner would have been if Isildur had destroyed the... |

Being theist does not mean you have to be religious. I'm not "religious" if being religious means belonging to a religion. The better word I use for this is SPRITITUAL. Professor certainly wrote his... |

I think they all had faith. Strong faith. Valar had "plan", and probably Gandalf was aware of it to some degree. As for the start Fellowship remaining together, no was bound to the quest. No... |

What quotes/lines from Professor's work you use in conversation?
Few days back I was talking to a friend of mine, and he told me about a book, The Secret. He kept telling me how cool it was, and I was like "Don't tempt me, (...). Don't tempt me." Often I keep... |

My reaction was the silly "awww" at this. (though I personally find this "awww" thingy silly, so I tried to sound it like Minions' at the end of Despicable Me1). Your story is really sweet. :) |

Cars? Why not try space shuttles? They'd work better than the Eagles,take them to other planets, and some of them will run faster than the light and thus cars. They can do things quickly in urgency. |

Wasn't he an exception who could even disappear the Ring? I think that's the matter of opinion. We don't know who was more tempted or who needed it more. Gandalf resisted, but Galadriel... |

Yes, Saruman had an unfair fate, so did Melkor, and Sauron as well. All evils have "unfair" fate. They deserve pity, not sympathy. Valar did not know the evil in Melkor's heart initially, but later... |
