probably. It'd be interesting to see what kinds of denominations would have sprung up from that!

No. The Bible was inspired by God but the Lord of the Rings trilogy was inspired by a man. Bit of a difference there! By the way, parts of the Bible are a lot older than 2006 years (the old testament writings were completed hundreds of years before the time of Jesus and form the basis for Judaism). It predicted what Jesus would do with incredible accuracy. No such prophetic foretaste of the Lord of the Rings trilogy exists and so you can be reasonably sure that these books would have been a cracking read but not much else if they had been written 2006 years ago. Enjoy reading them both and make your mind up!

The original Bible had been corrupted, so no wonder if Lord of the Ring could come the part of it

Like the bible, it depends on the power of the people who want it to become something with impact ie. what can they get out of it.

Only if some dumb ppl decide to translate it. <--Just like the bible, some dumbf***s decided to translate those B.S. caveman books. How dumb can ppl get?
Talk about dumb:
Some A-hole says he's the 2nd coming (Jesus), and ppl believe him. Not only that, he is getting rich off of it too.

I really doubt it, although they are good books i belive that even people back then would know they were fiction. Then again if these books were already written back then it may affect how people think...

no, Tolkien was a Christian and the Bible had a big impact in his literature.
