"I mean... you're a Christian right?"
"No"
"Yes you are."
"No I'm no-"
"Yes you are, you were baptised right?"
"Yes..."
"Well then you're one of us. You're in the gang. You can't just leave."

Oh grandparents. So... whatever grandparents are.

Yeah, that's one of the more pathetic reactions to the fall of religion. "You can't leave the club!"

That's just... I don't even... How?

Technically, though, LOtR was the sequel to The Hobbit.

Wasn't the Hobbit changed retroactively to fit in with LotR?

Yup. More thematically than anything, though; mentions of things like "policemen" were taken out, iirc.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Main change was the riddles in the dark chapter, where gollum is changed quite a bit.

And the ring gained it's corrupting powers only after the retcon. In the original Gollum was ready to part with the ring, but since he had lost it (and Bilbo had found it), he showed Bilbo the way out of the mountain instead.

How many pre-retcon "Hobbit" copies still exist?

Now I know what crazy bid I'll make if I ever become ludicrously wealthy.

Slayerhero90 is the bard in A's court, singing his praises, while damning his enemies.
His death will be long and painful.

As with all bards, his skill level corresponds to the amount of pain he feels while dying.

Not sure what kind of Christian you are, but the Catholic church hasn't long suspended the official way to leave. Kind of a funny response to the surge in demand.

Edit: I meant "we're baptised as", no offence intended.
