I am also aware that it was based around norse mythology. The angerthas and cirth runes especially. I'm not trying to change your religious beliefs, and I am definitely not trying to ruin tolkein for you. There is a book called Finding God in the Lord of the Rings that explains what I'm trying to explain much clearer. Sure, maybe there's a chance that he didn't intentionally put religion in LotR, but give it to him that he was a Christian, and did help C.S. Lewis come to Christ. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, you have yours and I have mine. Beleive what you want, and I'll beleive what I want. We can agree to disagree. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
