As a philosophy grad student with a particular interest in philosophy of religion, the Valar have always interested me. Glad to know I'm not the only one who can go on the anti-Valar tear.

Philosophy? *backs away in awe* Don't mind little ol' me. :)

Valar are a very interesting topic to study - as is the whole religion in the world Tolkien created. My views on them usually aren't what people would like to hear about the so-called 'angelic creatures', so I try to keep my mouth shut, if possible. But there are still times, when I slip... the way I did here. Thanks for not holding it against me. ;)

As for not being an expert... if all the non-experts would write Silm stuff the way you do, I'd probably stay glued to my computer day and night.
