Gotta be next level retarded to believe this kind of shit.
Dipshit up there may have had a point if Tolkien was quiet and gave token responses to being Christian, but the reality of the matter is that he was an outspoken Christian that routinely shared his devotion without needing any prompt at all.
Tolkien was Christian, and his works actively show that if you’re not a retard.
not only Christian, but a devout and outspoken Roman Catholic in a society where that still wasn’t all that easy.
I can be a Pagan myself. Enjoy stories written by commited Christian authors, without needing to suggest that said authors were ‘secretly’ Pagan.
Tolkien knew his folklore. And the themes he brought into his Middle Earth tales have always been part of folklore. Not because of ‘Paganism’ but because of our humanity being explored. And part of that is our connection to the world around us
Right? You can be a pagan without fucking being a disrespectful, uneducated prick.
