Mrs Gnome made a good point last night. I wonder how many people would burn the New Testament because the hero can work magic? He turned water into wine. Fed 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fishes. Practised necromancy, raising not only other people but also himself, from the dead. Encouraged his followers to eat flesh and drink blood. Was born in a very unatural way. Spoke with mysterious beings in the sky...

Phew. I think I'll give that one a miss;-)

Out of interest - has anyone else who has read the Silmarilion ever thought that if they did not know either that book or the Old Testament, and then read both, they would not know which one was the accepted religion?

Cheers

Dave the Gnome
