I'm a 26 year old girl living in Central Florida.
Damn, now I officially feel really old. First thing I thought when I saw your name was of a cute 17 year old girl named Renee Katz who had her hand run over by a subway train in NYC back in 1979.

Why disturbed? Just because I have an eidetic memory? But disturbed is good because they named a band after me Smile

Welcome. I've found that one of the best recruitment tools for atheism is an overly strict religious upbringing.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Granted, God is still a gigantic dick head in both fictional works though.

I digress, deities are a necessary evil that drive both stories forward with their fucked up creations. Otherwise there'd be no plot.

Of course its not as good, its better, her story is real.

No offence to LoTR fans but ultimately John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Clive Staples Lewis were taking liberalities from the Bible's religious text as inspiration.

Just thought I point out that J.R.R's family originally came from Lower Saxony in Germany, and the name Tokien came from the German word tollkühn, which means "idiot".
