[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] No. Nice idea of a topic but all LOTR really is is a good story and everyone is trying to interpret things from it that do not exist! Besides why would a devout Catholic man try to promote people to practice the occult? Why not let this just be what it is - a good story not to be weighed down by debate. I'm not against debate, but it just seems that's what everybody's doing with every topic these days. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
