"Then Ilúvatar spoke, and he said: 'Mighty are the Ainur, and mightiest among them is Melkor; but that he may know, and all the Ainur, that I am Ilúvatar, those things that ye have sung, I will show them forth, that ye may see what ye have done. And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined'."
- JRR Tolkien, The Silmarillion
Tolkien was a prominent Christian and his writings reflect it every bit as much as C. S. Lewis. Just thought you should know.
And, I enjoyed the "Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" for the fiction they were. What's your point?
