I have had people say the same. Their reason for not liking it was that it was too spiritistic. Meaning it had magic in it and they associate that with evil and sorcery. That's all well and good and they are entitled to that opinion. IMHO it's a story a book of fiction, nothing more. I haven't come across anyone who has compared it to the Bible, but I have heard it compared to "Star Wars"... which is funny. <P>To me LOTR is and always will be LOTR. I don't read into it because I see it for what it is and that is a story. I don't see anything spiritistic about it, nor do I see similaraties between it and the Bible.
