i dont understand the bible/LOTR same-book going on thing, if u get me. i dont get how you can compair them...i mean, sure they are both teaching us things about life, subtle or not, but one is about religion and following it closely and its preaching (obviously the bible) and of coarse it is likely only to be enjoyed by people of certain ethnics. Lord of the Rings can be shared with anyone, of any race or culture, and everyone can learn a little for life from it. On the other hand, fanatics could treat it like their religion...so there is fine line in my opinion depending on where your looking at it from.
