Ok, I was talking to my friend yesterday night and we were talking about the biblical ties in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, i.e. Gandalf portraying Jesus in a way.

And then we got into the discussion of Tokien being religous. And we talked about C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia books and how they respresent biblical stuff. And my friend said that Tokien said that C.S. Lewis' books were foolish and were not religous. Is this true?

Then there was a crash and a flash of flame and smoke. The waters of the Deeping-stream poured out hissing and foaming: they were choked no longer, a gaping hole was blasted in the wall.
