Wow that's SOME post Gandy :shock: :D

I must admit I understood about half of it (but what I did understand was excellent). I get what you say though about both of them being outside the "mainstream of Orthodoxy", with all Tolkien's Valar and Elves and that. Maybe he was of the viewpoint that his own faith (in Jesus) was foreshadowed in previous belief systems. I am quite good at history and I sure remember a point in the Renaissance (have I spelt it right? :mrgreen: ) when a bunch of modern Catholics called themselves "Humanists" and started to believe that Christ was foreshadowed in Paganism and Buddhism and stuff. But I don't hink it fully developed until Vatican II when the Church officially pronounced that other belief systems had "grains of truth". Ironically though I don't think Tolkien was very pro-Vatica II :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Ok I've gone to deep and I've got myself all fuddled up now....hmm...I think....no wait...damn't its gone :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Felagund, you should see would old GB whips up on Narnia Web if you thinks that impressive 8-) . By the way, I love your Avatar, what is it suppose to be, exactly?
Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.

Aw Shucks, thanks for the kudos Fela and LITD :oops: . Mythology, Comparative Religions and Philosophy are my main field of research. What I love about Tolkien and Lewis is they had many of the same interests as me :ugeek: .

And that is a sweet avvy Fela. Did you draw/paint it yourself?
