My friend says this song is not music because it's not a "real person" singing. Then again, it's probably because he's a fundamentalist.

I was going to make a witty reply to that, but then I realized there's nothing more to say.

Doesn't the Fundamentalist use science to construct his Dogma-Ray? And how about that machine behind him in his secret lair? :PHypocritical fundamentalists.

Well, today the average christian is more moral than the bible; most of them have never taken part in ethnic clensing or beating slaves. The average atheist is more moral than the bible. My point was that it is easy to find books that have a higher standard of morality than the bible, so why base your life on a single book?

Just to clarify, I never said I "KNOW" what Tolkien would have said. I said, "almost certainly" because having deeply studied the author I learned that he was quite devout and his faith influenced his works. That's all.I also never said Christianity should take credit for "everything good done by Christians". Nor did I once discount the evil done by Christianity.Windbush (not a guy) brought up Tolkien as being more moral than the Bible and I pointed out the irony in this. That's all.

lol, good point. We seem to have a bit of a problem with religious people saying they KNOW things they couldn't possibly know.

Windbush (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

I'm not a guy ;-)If "christianity" is going to take credit for everything good done by people who said they were christian, then "christianity" also must take credit for all the bad (and there is a LOT of bad) done by people who said they were christian. You can't cherry pick.

Please explain to me how you KNOW what a dead author would say if he were still alive.

LOL! That's very witty, my friend :)
