On the contrary, there was no guarantee that Eru existed. Only the Valar could attest to Eru's existence. And one would have to trust the Valar to believe that. The Valar communicated mostly to elves. Not all the elves trusted the Valar. Not all men trusted elves. Thus there was little guarantee about any higher power. It still took faith. And worship is not dependent upon only faith, anyway. I can praise (not to say I woship it :P ) my laptop computer at being a technological marvel and I KNOW it exists.<p>[ October 09, 2003: Message edited by: aragornreborn ]
