Now that the dust has settled

Is Tolkien's legendarium Pagan or Christian?

It’s Christian. A Christian author writing about a word run by “God the Father” (Eru Ilúvater) is pretty Christian

Catholic, which is both

Tolkien's work shows us the way forward. Paganise the Christians and Christianise the Pagans.

...

cringe thread

Christian, though he sees the path of the "sub-creative" Logos/Word manifest through paganism and mythology at large.

Obviously Christian. Even the seemingly pagan elements like the Valar being similar to a polytheistic pantheon are actually Christian, with the valar being more akin to angels.

Christian. From the creation of the world, to the very end where Satan is BTFO forever at Dagor Dagorath, it is Christian.

Definitely Christian.

Yes.

>the holy trinity
Christianity isn't monotheistic, it's just retarded.

>Christian. From the creation of the world, to the very end where Satan is BTFO forever at Dagor Dagorath, it is Christian.
First off, the Dagor Dagorath is literally based on Ragnorak, you simp. Second of all, Tolkien scrapped it as an idea, it is not canonical.

This.

Pagan of course, you have to be a brainlet to think otherwise.

*Some small Catholic elements notwithstanding ofc.

Sounds legit.

It's literally the same thing.

Obviously a Christcuck.

It's also based off the final battle between God and Satan.
War of the Ring is the apocalypse prior to Satan being imprisoned for a thousand years.
Satan returning is Melkor breaking the door of the void.

Eru Iluvatar, through what Tolkien has said, is how the Elves perceive God, and there are no actual "gods" (whether they be named or not), so yes, it's more or less a monotheistic mythos.

>Some people have criticised the Ring as lacking religion. Tolkien denies this: “Of course God is in The Lord of the Rings. The period was pre-Christian, but it was a monotheistic world.”

>Monotheistic? Then who was the One God of Middle-earth?

>Tolkien was taken aback: “The one, of course! The book is about the world that God created – the actual world of this planet.”

It's an idealized paganism as portrayed by Christians. It operates on the same level as the Edda.

Nice argument

Catholic.

God I cannot wait for abrahamic religions to burn out, this must have been what it was like for Zoroastrianism back in the day, literally nothing could be said or created without someone coming along and saying "This is really just a representation of Zarathustras work, wether you like it or not, if you made something in the indus river valley, you are a Zoroastrian XD". Go fuck yourselves and your dogmatic pseudophilosophy.

He compiled the western mythos.

Funny thing about people like you is you just need to shut up if you want your problem to go away, being a control freak is not helping.
