Bethberry, whether or not someone believes the Bible has spiritual limitations is irrelevant. You know that not all this site's visitors are Christians, and by bringing up the topic of the Bible's spiritual side into it, you open the discussion up to the possibility of becoming a religious dispute...something that has, time and time again, proven to be pointless, as the participating parties are most likely so set in their ways that what the others assert will fall on deaf ears, whether right or wrong.
Furthermore, Christians believe the Bible to be a nonfiction work. This thread deals with strictly fictional work.
As KingCarlton summed up beautifully, Tolkien's work is a fairy tale.
