They are always either secular right wingers (pseudo-leftists) who regard Christianity as a "foreign religion" (discounting their grandfather, their great grandfather, their great great great great etc.) and/or believe Christianity is leftist in nature (despite great evidence that suggests otherwise) in their desperation to have anything other than Christianity, or are New Age Leftists.TonguelessYoungManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433490543280815258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-4812841570727868642015-01-06T01:41:32.690+00:002015-01-06T01:41:32.690+00:00Tolkien, of course.

He considered himself a convert, since he became Catholic at eight, when his mother converted.<br />I read or heard somewhere (maybe in the special features of Jackson's LoTR) that his avowed purpose was to give England a mythic history that was lacking, or was imported from other countries.Sylvie D.
