A Word from A Moderator

This is a most interesting question, Neurion, and an intriguing quote to go along with it. I hope that it will generate some new discussions ans research into JRRT's thought processes.

That being said, there have been a number of similar threads on similar topics involving Tolkien's views on religion which have devolved into some passionate, and heated discussions on the views of those who post here rather than of the subject at hand. A couple of searches might turn up som useful information that might help answer your inquiries. The Downs has a very good search engine built-in.

I will be moderating this thread very closely and somewhat severely, and I will not hesitate to prune or delete posts which run afoul of the Downs' policies on discussions of religion and/ or politics. This is a topic which deserves some discussion, but I will not let it run off-topic -- such discussions can be held in private messages or e-mails, but not here.

Sincerely,
Your Friendly Neighborhood Party-Pooper,
Thenamir
