Too bad it wasn't as good as the first Matrix.

Frightening that a pastor is turning to Hollyweird for "spiritual" relevance(sp). Folks are searching for answers, but humanism isn't it. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father, but through Him. I'm probably just intolerant, though.

Rev. Henry Straw, an ordained Methodist minister and Jungian analyst in Houston.
Why did I already know that this guy would be either a Methodist or a Unitarian minister?

Like Seay, the Rev. William Vanderbloemen of Houston's First Presbyterian Church sees Christian themes, enough to inspire a four-part sermon series that ends with the 11:05 a.m. service Sunday.
Two thumbs down.
I once heard a sermon based on "The Glass Menagerie" while trying to find a church in East Lansing. My search continued.

So, is this better or worse than the Left Behind stuff?
I was surprised that pastors were making these remarks.

"I think that is a marvelous achievement," said the Rev. Henry Straw, an ordained Methodist minister and Jungian analyst in Houston."We are talking about access. How many people read philosophy or theology? How many people hang out with professors who talk about deconstruction?
This is pretty informative.

The MAtrix is not about religion, despite its coloring language with religious inuendos. It is about philosophy, dialectics and who will decide what means what. The movie goes further in metameaning itself, by twisting religious terms into philosophical definitions that simply are false, while attempting to make the crowds believe that the definitions are religious.
The movie is all about presdigitation and criticizing religion as a presdigitizing language, end of story.
