Thread Name: BS: Is Lord of Rings offensive to fundament. too
Subject: RE: BS: IsL. OfRings offensive to fundamenta.too
I mentioned on the other thread and I'll mention it again here. I would challenge anyone to read the books within the Bible and those within the Silmarilion and then say honestly which they think is the accepted religion and which is the work of fantasy. Given long enough I reckon someone could come up with enough 'historical proof' for the Silmarilion as well!

No-one has mentioned Denis Wheatley yet either. As a teenager I read all of em (Think they are p"£$ poor now but I was only young then:)). 'The devil rides out' and 'They used dark forces' are the ones I remember - full of Satanism, Witchcraft and Wizardry - but with a Christianity always wins type motto. The later was Nazi/Satanist/Jewish/Christian twoddle at it's complete worse if I remember rightly!

What do the fanatics (they are not Christian, or Muslim, or any other religion in my mind just nutters) think of those? Are they OK because the 'goodies' always win? Makes me wonder how these bigots work!

Cheers

(Gnomism is a religion in its own right btw. Once we have sat for years looking at the same pond we will tollerate anything!)
