The difference is, I was invested in the story of the hobbits, and it's harder to get invested in the fates of biblical characters. I have to admit to feeling some resentment at the way Yahweh acts, though, much as I feel resentment at Saruman. Which is to say that I think "that's awful, mean, bad behavior," and then I go back to whatever I was doing.
