Gandalf of Bilbo:
" And he needed all my help too". This implies Bilbo could not have given up the Ring totally of his own accord. What Gandalf means is that Bilbo was not forced physically to hand the Ring over. Though quite what this point has to do with this thread is beyond me.
The thread was based on the idea that if the Bible had not been written, the LOTR may not have even existed. It is the inspiration of all that is good about it.
