Or we need to follow the more universal, moral rules/laws of God rather than follow ALL the cultural proscriptions that may have made sense for an ancient, rural agrarian culture but not so much for modern cultures.
You do realize that in the 1st century AD there where plenty of places in the mediteranean where you could roll in the hay with another guy and no punishment wuld befall you.
Homosexuality being a no no wasn't nesecary to maintain a civilization at that point.
Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

Okay, so you want to reestablish slavery (of foreigners), and have Western Christian countries and Israel enact laws to legally permit parents to put their children to death for talking back to them.
Also, do you wear clothing of mixed fabrics/material?
What are you on about? All he is talking about is that real Christians and Jews should be doing those things and lobbying for those laws. Just like muslims today are pushing for Sharia law in the West.

Tolkien's mythology was deeply rooted in his Catholicism.
Catholicism is logical.

Good. Let's talk about that then.

Read the...Ainulindale? Can't spell it exactly, but the first part of the Silmarillion. Lucifer's fall to earth seen in the light of God's foreknowledge.
The first part of the mythos is messed up. Did anyone read the loads of manuscripts detailed in the History of middle Earth? Tolkien couldn't decide for a time whether to go with a flat or round Earth and that brought interesting variations on Melkor's actions during creation. His place and actions in the choir are Luciferian but his actions in Arda's early history in most versions aren't really close to any paradise lostish themes.

He'd be considerably behind the Christians but he would have been well positioned to battle the Scientologists.

Hubbard was no Tolkein. At the very least I think he could have beat the Mormons.

They have magic underwear. Tolkien has magic cloaks. What would you prefer?

Tolkien could have easily converted all the midgets giving him an instant boost.

Or also accept, as has been stated earlier by someone else, that the Bible, while divinely inspired, was written by flawed humans and therefore is not perfect and is subject to the biases of those individuals.
As closeness to God is an individual thing (well, for Protestants, I guess), the rules to follow aren't necessarily set in stone. They are more the product of an individual relationship with God and He will indicate when you are failing in how you are supposed to act.

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

"little people"
Good point.
How many little people are there? They could have little churches...

Couldn't he, being God and all, have simply told the people what to write down since they are writing in his name to avoid any akwardness?
