Melkor is the saviour of mankind

I've read in many places that men couldn't cope in the undying land and that their lot there would be miserable what would have happened if Melkor had not driven the Valar out of Middle Earth. Men would have arisen and lived extremly short lives, hungering after immortality that was about them so thanks to Melkor and his marring of Middle Earth men had a place where it was possible for them to live happily. I don't think Melkor intended this but I suppose it is a by product to his war on the Valar. The Valar who we know were error prone would not have realised that the paradise they created would harm men.

So I think it is right for men to worship Melkor as he saved them from the tyranny of the Valar EDIT:even unintended tyranny as it supposedly was
