Sorry guys, I think that my post was misinterpreted.

Orome, I did not mean that Christianity was a myth, I ment LOTR. It seamed to me that it was written more like a history, some myths are like that. If you listen to the preloud to the movie, the voice says something like "...legend into myth" that is what made me think of it. We studied mythology in english class and LOTR sort of sounds like some of the things we read. I am a christian myself, I agree that it is not a myth. Sorry for the confusion.
