Moderator's note
This discussion, interesting as it is, has wandered away from any reference to Tolkien. Please connect what you wish to say to Tolkien's point of view and his works; that will help the thread to avoid the pitfalls of personal attacks that lurk under the surface of controversial (especially religious!) discussions. Thanks!
And remember: Freedom is the right of those who do not agree with you to express their opinions just as you do. Please discuss respectfully, stating your thoughts without attacking those of others.
