The Matrix and Mormonism

(I've taken the liberty of personalizing it a bit to apply to Shades' board. Enjoy!)

Wow, I consider that a great personal compliment! THANK YOU!

And, THANK YOU for creating such a fun forum! :)

You listen to the apologetics of FAIR/MAD, I'll call it "the blue pill," the story ends, you wake up in your dream and believe whatever you want to believe. You listen to the stories on MormonDiscussions.com, I'll call that taking "the red pill," you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more. Follow me. Keene, are we online?[/i]

I used to characterize myself as "Red Pill Popper" on ZLMB years ago -- it used to drive Pahoran nuts!

Liz, you are my other half, we were most definitely separated at birth. :D

Would DCP be Agent Smith? On second thought, I can't picture him doing some of those kung-fu moves...

Hmmm...who should be the Oracle? ;)

Can I be?

Do you smoke and bake cookies?

Hmmm....Let's see.....Here's a list of preliminary cast members from our group on the board:

Neo - Rollo (since he has the avatar)
The Architect - Mister Scratch (since he has the avatar)
Trinity - Harmony (She kicks butt well with words...why not with kung fu? LOL)
Morpheus - Dr. Shades (appropriate, since this is his board)
Tank - Keene (the "Operator" in the original Matrix movie....he handles all the techy aspects of people coming and going from the matrix)
Oracle - Liz and GIMR (since we're always claiming that we were separated at birth, and there are two Oracles....one in the first two movies, and then a second one in the third movie, why not?)

There are a zillion more characters we can add on. If anyone is bored, feel free to add!

Just thought I would bring this up to the top. We haven't discussed the parallels between the Matrix and Mormonism for a while.

;)

[_The Nehor]

Difficult metaphor to fit myself into. I'd probably be Smith, the rogue agent bent on world domination.

But then I'm blond. Hmmmm.......I think I'll be the little kid with the spoon.

And I get to wear black leather! I'm going to have to invest in some serious hair dye though.

I've never seen The Matrix. Should I watch it?

I don't know why I haven't seen it. Was it rated R or something? If it's rated R, that would explain it. I never watched rated R movies as a Mormon. Really, I still don't watch very many of them.
