Clever theory. As for the argument, I don't mean to sound pompous, but I grow weary of symbolism: its only fun when you think of it yourself. Therefore, I find Topics such as this just a tad bit on the annoying side. thus the "no"

P.S. The "Bible code" is when people take the Bible and a computer, and tell the computer to assemble the letters, skipping every few thousand, until they find something legitamate in it, like some "prophecy" or something that is completely irrelavent to what the Bible is actually saying. Its very stupid. This is relavent, because I believe that this is very nearly what some Tolkien symbolists are doing.

P.P.S. Just a suggestion, try using spaces between your sentences. It makes them easier to read. Otherwise, it sounds like you're typing in a frantic fit of insecurity and rage. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
