“...Your own anti-Christian bigotry is a sad thing to witness, let’s see “illiterate backwoods preacher”, “Christians and Flat Earthers”, “tools of the ‘Divvil’,” you are the ‘tool’ no doubt, but not quite sharp enough for any demonic purposes....”
My first impulse was to list the dozens of ways I thought of, to illustrate how little I care.
But then the irony of that approach hit me: I don’t care enough to bother.
If mkjessup can set aside her/his self-satisfaction and mulish indifference to anything outside his/her preoccupation with things spiritual/religious, I will post one bit of detail for the forum to consider:
J.R.R Tolkien was a person of profoundly Christian beliefs, sensibilities, and culture. He was a major influence on colleagues C.S. Lewis, who converted to Christianity and went on to become one of the most noted Christian apologists of the 20th century.
Set against that, mkjessup’s complaints about the lack of explicitly Christian detail in _The Lord of the Rings_ might be interpreted in a different light. At least a little.
That is, if any of the truly faithful can be bothered to shake off their smugness and look up the real story here.
