Tolkien was a devout Catholic and translated portions of the Jerusalem Bible. You should be more like the man whose books you admire.

I relate to the bible more than anything else I've ever read. It's an account of humanity throughout the ages. Their struggles are the same things I deal with on a day to day basis.

LOTR was written by a Christian author as a direct response to the growing anti-religious literature that was being propagated in Europe.
Tolkein and C.S. Lewis were good friends and shared this common goal.

The Koran is not a story to begin with. Its facts.....Lord of the rings is not.
I say, every muslim says, every prophet says, God says. And we could not care less what you say......
