ONLY The Silmarillion - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If there were no spiritual texts in the world apart from The Silmarillion? Personally, I don't like the thought of that. For one, I like the fact that there are many different spiritual paths to choose from, and I also think that belief is an intensely personal thing; for me, no faith has more validity than another, and I like to think I can respect another person's differing faith for that reason. I have not found any one path that is quite right for me, so I'm happy that I can choose from many, or even none. The thought of only having one path and no other scares me! Even if it is Tolkien's path!

Sorry, I know that's not humorous, and now I've dragged the whole thread down..........
