Concerning LotR and Christianity
Legolas

I was reading all the discussions on the relation between Lotr and Christianity, and it seems to me that alot of people start to write about the Faith that the characters have in the books. To me it is not about what Faith the characters have, but what Faith they potray (Christianity).

Notice how the Orcs used to be Elves, but They were taken and tortured so badly that they became hideous beasts that are under Sauron's power and command. This ( I think) represents how some angels (Elves) joined Satan and became demons (Orcs).Now I'm not quite sure who potrays Jesus in the books, but I think that he is potrayed by many characters such as Frodo or Aragorn.Could someone Please help me on this? No offense but it I would like it if he/she were a Christian like me. And if you see any more relation between Lotr and Christianity please tell me!!
