Fix spelling of Tolkien
Jan 26, 2012 at 14:27 comment added Christopher Donlan lol, too true: infinite energy, mutable information, morals existing in costless societies. Anyways, if I were a wizard, my best spell would be: "Mea Culpum"
Jan 26, 2012 at 14:22 comment added Kevin Yes, I know. Just a little comparison. We all know JKR only sticks to the theories she likes.
Jan 26, 2012 at 14:21 comment added Christopher Donlan Anyways, in the case of J.K. Rowling, you do need a soul to survive. That was the whole point of the Horcruxes: as long as a piece of Voldemort's soul remained, he could continue to exist. Comon man, get your geek on.
Jan 26, 2012 at 14:16 comment added Christopher Donlan Lol. I'm not citing it as a "fact"... I think that you have to consider who Tolkien's contemporaries were: C.S. Lewis etc. In the early 20th century, there was a movement back towards fundamental western beliefs...and literary guys like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were at the center of that reactionism. Check out the screwtape letters and tell me that Socrates, Westernism, and the New Testament isn't all over that. Then, consider that C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were both hugely popular literary contemporaries.
