We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

The Hobbit: Coming Next December to a Theatre Near You

Fans of Peter Jackson's outstanding movie trilogy, "The Lord of the Rings," are waiting with baited breath for the release of the first of his new two-movie series, "The Hobbit," which is scheduled for release in December 2012.  It is based, of course, on J. R. R. Tolkien's prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, which was first published in 1937.  There's been a lot of drama surrounding the production of the film and many delays, but now it is only a matter of time until we will be treated to another visit to the parallel universe of Middle Earth.

I bring this up now because the trailer for "The Hobbit," below, has only recently been released.  Enjoy.
