Ok since this post is clearly not getting any messages, and that is bugging me, I am going to try to get it going.
All of the previous post have concluded what theology is so....... in conclusion the god of Middle-earth is Eru.
So everyone talk about Eru. He created the Valar and the Ainur who in return made the Great Music. Ok everybody join in! ;D

Silver flow the streams from Celos to Erui, In the green fields of Lebennin! Tall grows the grass there. In the wind from the Sea The white lilies sway, And the golden bells are shaken of mallos and alfirin In the green fields of Lebennin, In the wind from the Sea!

Bravo!! Good attempt. You can if you want, though my initial desire in starting this thread was to discuss God (or Eru, in an allegorical sense) and the Inkling's view on Him and how he affected their works.

On the other hand, since I don't spend any time here anymore, you're free to interpret this thread as you wish.

Cheers,

~ Elentari II

And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance --
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

I know that he was a devout Catholic and nothing else. Since I am stupid I can not see how god is interpreted in his works. Help!
