Jesus would SO have been tempted by the One Ring; Tom totally wasn't.
Tom Bombadil can scare away barrow wights.... FTW.
The folks who made the LOTR films should be shot upside the stomach with a 12-gauge for not including him. >=(

Poseiden: There are no words for how much you suck for saying that. Go play with a power outlet. Tom Bombadil is awesome to the extreme.

Bombadil, easily.
For every psalm and hymn, Jesus never ONCE sings in the bible.
Tom, Orignal Free-style song master.
Amazing.

Tom Bombadil has a lovely wife too, Jesus just had 12 boyfriends.

Tom Bombadil was the best character in any of Tolkien's works. I was very upset that he was not included in the films, along with the Barrow Downs scenes. Not only was he not tempted by the One Ring, but it's powers had no effect on him.

Tom Bombadil was the worst character in that book, and made almost no sense. Thank god he wasn't in the movies, it would have made them suck.
Reading the book and then watching the movie made me realize how slow paced the book was, how much interesting stuff tolkein left out, and only implied much of it. Large battles were glanced over in a few pages. Peter Jackson deserves alot of credit for pulling so much out of the books and making it into a cohesive movie.
He is however more awesome than Jesus.
Nihilist, I may suck but I'm right.
Tom Bombadil is very much like the modern day god, in that he doesn't do anything to stop what's going on here. You might stumble into him but he's not going out of his way to help you and he isn't doing jack **** outside of his domain.

you really can't compare the two.
i loved tom b. i still don't understand why they didn't put him in the movie. of course they pretty much butchered the books, but i still liked the movies.
tom was awesome. his character was great. if he was the first could he have been god? the books seem to imply this.
just my thoughts.

Tolkien was a Roman Catholic. And he wouldn't dare make the comparison. As you have.
