//D. Gerrolt: Almost the last question: Do you, in fact, believe, yourself, not in the context of-of this book, believe in the sense of straightforward strict belief, in the Eldar or in some form of governing spirits?
J.R.R. Tolkien: Well the Eldar must be distinguished from the Valar only by…
J.R.R. Tolkien: Oh, I’m a Roman Catholic… a devout Roman Catholic yes, but uh, I don’t know about Angelology but yes I should’ve thought almost certainly… Yes. Certainly.//
托爾金：史矛革是……只是純粹有智慧的蜥蜴。
訪談者：你喜歡有智慧的蜥蜴？
繼續聽先前貼過的訪談，這段對話莫名搞笑XDDD
（其餘下收
訪談者問為什麼托爾金世界中的「善」似乎沒有神性的代表存在：
戰鬥中，佛羅多和山姆會呼喊凱蘭崔爾的名字，或是他們的家鄉；金靂會喊他祖先的斧頭；人類會呼喊配劍的名字，或是他們的國王或君主——
但在幾千個名字裡，沒有任何一個托爾金發明的種族的神祇。難道他們沒有（信仰的）神嗎？
訪談者指出，大家會以為這樣的奇幻故事裡一定會有（宗教信仰上的）神存在，實際上卻沒有。
托爾金說，他沒有辦法寫出一個像奧林帕斯或阿斯嘉這樣諸神是受信徒崇拜的神話。
奇幻，但並不迷信XD

J.R.R. Tolkien: Yes… Umm (Pause)
D. Gerrolt: Are you, in fact, a Theist?
