Eru Iluvatar poll
I’m creating this poll about how many people believe that Eru is the Christian God. Looking at the Old Testament the actions of Yahweh are more consistent with Melkor/Morgoth especially in light of the account in Morgoths Ring of the Mannish fall where Melkor appeared among men as God and taught them to make blood sacrifices (like the Semites) as King of Kings.
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

Re: Eru Iluvatar poll
I agree that Eru certainly doesn't act the same as YHWH. I have had the idea for some time that the ancient Jews were certainly picking up something, but whether it was always the creator God seems a bit doubtful to me.
