I get the impression that a lot of stuff looks like food to hobbits. *L* Good point.
Mm, doubt he would like it. I walk a fine line between not wanting to disrespect his ideas, and knowing that he did in some ways envision his universe as a sort of mythos that others might expand upon (I wish I could find the exact quote about it). I personally find Eru unpalatable because he is much like the deity of Christianity--or, one might argue, is literally the same deity--and that just does not mesh with me. So it amuses me to picture Eru in different lights that make more sense to me.
