Why LOTR is the work of the devil

***IronParrot*** · 07-06-2002, 12:42 AM

... according to people like this one, anyway:

http://logosresourcepages.org/rings.htm

It gets hilariously weak by the time he gets to arguments such as:
"Though I have forgotten many of the details of the books, I can recall very vividly that they are filled with occultic imagery" and "The song "Misty Mountain Hop" by the demonic hard rock group, Led Zeppelin, was inspired by Tolkien’s writings."

Seriously, do the people who argue this sort of trash ever know what they're talking about?

Some people have way too much time on their hands...

The Ringbearer · 07-06-2002, 04:04 AM

I'm not even going to read it. It will only get me angry.

emplynx · 07-06-2002, 10:01 AM

I am going to write up a good responce to that sometime...

samwiselvr2008 · 07-06-2002, 11:07 AM

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... to many big words, i don't get it, use smaller words!!!

Faramir · 07-06-2002, 11:08 AM

Was LZ even around when Tolkien wrote the Hobbit??? NO!

webwizard333 · 07-06-2002, 01:50 PM

I've been to that website before, I personally think that the author has serious problems with fault-finding, but that article didn't seem up to his usual standards of criticism for going against Biblical doctrine. For instance, where was the criticism over the role of Eoryn, who was a women and still fought (despite the presence of many brave men which makes all the difference)? Oh well, at least he did point out that Tolkien said that it wasn't allegory.

Apparently if you read the Lord of the Rings backwards you read a message from Satan.

Radagast The Brown · 07-06-2002, 04:18 PM

you can't know until you try it.

and I really don't care if this man thinks about LOTR. If he don't like it - his probalm.

webwizard333 · 07-06-2002, 10:15 PM

Perhaps we should invite him to join Entmoot.

cassiopeia · 07-07-2002, 12:29 AM

Uh oh he said a naughty word: allegory

He knocks everything: rock and roll, hippies and computer games. I know that since I read the book and watched the movie that I have joined the occult and regularily worship satan

I'm won't even say what I think of people like this and the bible.

BeardofPants · 07-07-2002, 12:42 AM

So he's an evil allegorist who pushed the occultic and satanic rollplaying and heavy metal genre upon unsuspecting druggies?

I'd make fun of him, but it's all too easy to do.

*rolls eyes*

There's just no talking to some people. Particularly when you're a thirteen-foot tall demon with smoke coming from your ears and frying people with your eyes.

(that is a joke, everyone... No worries, right?)

Yeah, whatever. If that person was not so involved in searching for evil meanings in good books, maybe they'd walk outside their house and see what is actually happening.

Christiana · 07-07-2002, 10:04 PM

What i dont like about that is it gives Christians a bad name.Heck,i think lotr has holy messages in it,like,small people can make a difference.

That's hardly the sole property of christianity. Themes like that pre-date the christian era.

Khadrane · 07-07-2002, 11:29 PM

Because of this article, I am giving up all Tolkien. I have seen the light. Tolkien was a demonic man, and his works are satanic. Just kidding. What a retard! Articles like this make me so mad!

Christiana · 07-07-2002, 11:55 PM

bop,i mean that Lotr isnt completely deviod of Christian belifs.

Elvellon · 07-08-2002, 07:25 AM

Charming.

Another “burn all the books! They are all evil I tell you!” Loony.

At least he made me laugh.

Darth Tater · 07-08-2002, 08:19 AM

Hrmm, so the fact that Tolkien was a devoit Catholic who converted CS Lewis to Christianity means nothing, huh?
