Is Eru God? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Is the question: do you think that Eru is God? Or is it: do you think Tolkien thought that Eru is God?

If it's the first one, I can say 'no' right away. Eru is just too far from the God that I know. Esty and Gurthang make some excellent points about that.

If the poll is about the latter one, I say that I don't know (where's that option, anyway

), and I understand Kuruharan's opinion that the question may be "unanswerable".
