What I meant was why do christians try to hijack the story when they have their own "story". I sometimes get the feeling that christians will use any excuse to get their message across!
Not entirely true, I'm afraid. More than just Christians try to use this story to get their own point across. I knew a family who refused to read LotR because the occult or something used it. It's all a matter of interpretation, really.

Tolkien wrote a great story and people from various religions will see what they want to in the stories and they have the right to do that.
