I havent read all the way through the bible; my bible study class tends to focus more on the gospels, Genesis and Exodus and some of the prophesies of Isiah and their links further on, etc. Pity- Ive been missing this entire other story! *searches frantically for a bible*

Linking to this, something in the RP room(s) has always puzzled me. I am quite a frequent RPGer, and I do this often enough myself I suppose. Tolkien was actually involved in a campaign to stop women wearing trousers, and did seem to believe they were the weaker race. (Even though as his books go on, he writes more and more of warrior women.) However, in the RPGs, the most popular- and stereotyped- character is the warrior woman/shield maiden. Yet this seems to go against Tolkiens views...
