ONLY The Silmarillion

[Encaitare]

If there were no spiritual texts in the world apart from The Silmarillion? Personally, I don't like the thought of that.

I don't like the idea of only one text, either, but remember all the texts had to be written at some point. Doubtless there would be people who would not believe in what the Sil said, and they would go about creating their own faiths. These faiths would probably branch off the Sil and then eventually go their own ways... think how Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all had similar roots but then diverged.
