You can certainly say a prayer for Frodo. Dude got stabbed 3 times over the course of the story.

This doesn't surprise me. Considering the ridiculous things written in Bible, LOTR just looks like another chapter.
aliceimwunderland
To be fair, there are a lot of religious archetypes represented in the books/ movies.
Cheomesh
It kinda sorta is but not really.It was a fictional pre-history of Earth,as told by a very religious man - the end of the 4th age is Moses.
BubbaRunski
I mean, they both have as much basis in fact...
fedthepoopy
Because a man putting two of each animal into a giant ark is so much more believable
Sbotkin
I mean, if you read The Silmarillion, it's pretty much a bible.
thereverseapachemaster
Well it is more believable.
Nahxela
It is to me :'(
HeyOP
Meh. Kinda fits in there.

Aragorn and Gandalf represent christ. The king coming again, and resurrection.
krugle
Eh, that doesn't even make a list in ridiculous things people think/believe.

Hey, I won't laugh at your primitive superstition if you don't laugh at mine
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
Uh huh, say hi to your "friend" for me, you silly goose.
CrazySimple
So yesterday?

Both are equally plausible

It's not? But what about when Gandalf the Grey got the 10 commandments from Lord Sauron's burning eye and formed the Ring of the Covenant?

In fact lotr relates to many religions, especially to the Norse mythology like it's written in the Edda

Man, I really envy your childhood.
comus182
And so, Gandalf said on to Frodo, keep it secret, keep it safe. Amen
Caveman3A
Aragorn wept.

Tyrfingur
Well it is metaphorical...
Arumarm
Tbh I went to Catholic school and read the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe while there and didn't know it was a religious thing.
HeraldOfTheBadger
Close enough
MeRoyMinoy
I was 15 when the movies came out, man you kids
pinkystar
You know the books are way older, right?
Zreen
There's kids in high school who were born after Return of the King was released

Still a better religious story than scientology.
Anonawesome
I recommend "My Scientology Movie". It's a BBC documentary w/ mostly basic info but some pretty funny stuff happens. Good humor.

Well, I mean, I WOULD give Scientology points for creativity, but those are the only points they're getting from me.
Rantaf
Like any other religion, then.
TraitorousTrump3
And they got to make a cool movie.
HikariShade
Anything is better than Scientology. Hell, the creation myths of gods jizzing out the world are better than scientology.
Draken04
You mean the Japanese one don't you? (Seriously. Look up Japanese mythology and prepare for WTF)
HikariShade
More than one culture had creation myths involving ejaculation as a cause of creation. Japan is just one of many.
ATalkingMushroom
I'm believing this now and you can't stop me.

Ancient Egyptian Mythos. I believe it was Set that jizzed the river Nile. But it's been like 15 years since middle school Egypt project
bleedth3sky
Fun fact: Christian schools don't like when you mention God's ejaculating worlds into existence in your project
HikariShade
Not just Egypt. Lots of cultures had ejaculation involved in their creation mythos.
