The difference between Lord of the Rings and the Bible is that the Bible could be proven to be true. For example, the places in the Bible could be proven to have existed, and many people in history that scientists have thought to have not even have existed. There is also physical evidence that the events in the Bible have taken place: Noah's ark, Jesus' shroud that he ressurected in, Jesus' tomb, and the fact that the Bible has survived for so long with so many trying to destroy it. Don't forget, some people have wanted to destroy Christianity and the Bible, but all of them have been proven unsuccessful. How have the Jews got their homeland back, and gotten through so many genocide attempts throughout history? It's because God exists. People could just write a book and say that it's from a deity, but the Bible is different from some man-made religions because the Bible convicts and it also has a solution, and it also has facts to prove itself true, like the many geneologies that it shows in the Old and the New Testament.
