Hey Aerandir. I totally support your opinion here! Tolkien would be turning in his grave if he saw just a few of the things that we have turned the Lord of the Rings into. The Lord of the rings represents the endurance of painful struggles and burdens, a hope in the greater good and overcoming the ultimate evil--that sure sounds an awful lot like the Christian faith to me. I hold strong to Christian beliefs as well.(sorry if I come on too "preachy" to a few of you.) If you don't think Tolkien meant to bring Christian allegories into the L.O.T.R, then what do you think he was trying symbolize?
