TolkienGurl - you said "What Christianity is is a person's belief in the Bible unmodified by denominations. It is essentially truth."

I'm glad that you ended your post that way. Indeed, each religion essentially seeks that same goal, truth. I'm glad that you're not prejudiced towards other religions.
Too often I am rocked by the attitude of "One God, and you who don't like him get to go to Hell." It's nice to hear that you are non-biased on that issue. True, the writer is under no obligation to explain myth in all forms, especially if his particular specialty is of his own religion.

Anyway, I hope that people will avail themselves of the nice sites I put up in my last post, and I offer another now because it's so darling and contains so much valuable information.

Sacred Texts Website

There is a link to the sacred texts that Tolkien was known to have studied. Good reading to you.
