Do Balrogs Have Wings? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I did not mean it that way, Lindo.

To believers, it is unambiguous, because we believe it--like someone believing that Balrogs have (or don't have) wings, and that all evidence point to it. But to others, well, they look at the same evidence, and they don't see it that way--like how the other side would react to the same quote. That is how I see it.

And yes, I know I should not discuss religion here, but, well, the parallelism is just too glaring.

So there.
