Really, all these mutterings about books like LotR and the Harry Potter series promoting devil worship are quite beyond me. I've heard and understood the arguments on Harry Potter, although I don't agree with them. But I can't begin to understand how anyone can suggest the same about LotR. Frankly, it's absurd. And, from what I've seen, there are many committed Christians on this site who are also devoted Tolkien fans and see their beliefs mirrored in his works.

And anyway, I heard that the Pope gave Harry Potter his blessing. And he should know - he's supposed to be God's representative on earth, isn't he? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
