Please read my posts! I happened to quote - lightheartedly - Dr. Samuel Johnson
about the lasting power of what *he* called 'infidel' literature. I said nothing
about the the truth of the mythologies of Tolkien, etc., and I said nothing 
about
what is true and what is infidel. I said I that I enjoy Tolkien, etc. (although 
I
am not a Christian) and that I think they will continue to be read for a long
time.
