In a late phase of tinkering with his mythology, Tolkien wrote in The Silmarillion of Middle-Earth having a Creator deity (‘Eru Ilúvatar’ or ‘The One’), and lower spirits called ‘Valar’. This doesn’t exactly scream ‘Christianity’ to me.

The article author is actually retarded.

Seriously, how stupid does one have to be to write these sentences and not realize it is analogous to God and angels?
