Lord of the Rings: the new Bible

[Asmodean]

Ok, so I've been thinking... If you read LOTR just right, it makes a nice little religious book.

Now what, according to some believers, validates their book above all others is:

1. A fulfilled prophecy or three.

LOTR: The alliance of the Two Towers, the tower of Isengard and the Tower of Barad-Dûr eventually fell. Now if that aint a reference to WTC, then I don't know what is.  :borg:

(5.) Miracles.

LOTR: It involves magic. Of course it's full of miracles.


So, what think ye, can I start selling my new religion and geting as rich as them chief-scientologists in ten years or so?   (Oh, and yes, I know the idea is not mine so I don't really have the lawful right to sell it, but still...)

I was kinda thinking the same, but with silmarillion (I KNOW I spelled that wrong), since it speaks about the beginning of the world. Image a great disaster wipes out everything and after hundreds of years when humans recover, they discover a print of that book.
Voila. The new religion, and J.R Tolkien is the prophet.
