Is LOTR A Rip Off Of The Bible?

[Peter Parka]

I say yes but better. It's about good over coming evil, a chosen one (Aragorn) ect ect

Is there a talking snake in LOTR?

 

[Peter Parka]

There's a kick arse spider, is that any good?

So are we saying the fellowship are the disciples?

Who was sacrificed as Jesus....Sean Bean!!?

The story revolves around the destruction of a ring that represents evil intent....where the bible version of the ring? The technicolour coat?!!

I say they were both great movies but neither is based on any fact LOL

Does that help?

I don't see the comparison. Most stories revolve around good & evil.

Having read The Silmarillion - I'd say the first parts are very similar to the Genesis creation account and so on.

It's a fantastic book too for anyone that loved reading LOTR. Great backdrop and history. :nod:
