Is Eru God? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm going to leave it at this. We all seem to be in agreement that to Tolkien, Eru=God. I haven't seen that point disputed in sometime, so I will consider the point conceded. If anyone wants to further discuss this point, of course, I'd be happy to.

As to my personal veiws, Eru, to me anyway, seems just vague enough to fit almost anyone's veiw of God. (With regards to Estelyn, who made some very good points right off the bat.) As to Fae and Saucy, is it just me or does it seem that we're agruing the same point in different directions?

Thankyou, Gurthang, for pointing out that we're debating the questions rather than the answers. So perhaps we aren't asking the right question at all. Perhaps what we should be asking is, "What do you get when you multiply six by seven?"
