Do you not find it strange that before christ was born(metaphorically speaking) that in babylonian folklore the same situation occurred with Tammuz whos mother semaramis( queen of heaven/virgin mother) who was a Jesus like figure who died to free everyone from their sins. He died and ascended to be seated at the right hand of the father which was the sun or Baal.

In 46 B.C.E. the Roman emperor Julius Caesar first established January 1 as New Year's day. Janus was the Roman god of doors and gates, and had two faces, one looking forward and one back. Caesar felt that the month named after this god ("January") would be the appropriate "door" to the year. Caesar celebrated the first January 1 New Year by ordering the violent routing of revolutionary Jewish forces in the Galilee. Eyewitnesses say blood flowed in the streets. In later years, Roman pagans observed the New Year by engaging in drunken orgies -- a ritual they believed constituted a personal re-enacting of the chaotic world that existed before the cosmos was ordered by the gods.

Everyones is not blinded by the Matrix. Those that are born again and accept Jesus as their savior are saved and free from the Matrix of lies. They may not understand all the ins and outs of the Matrix but the Matrix does not have them.

You's say that we are living in a matrix?? or could be. The Matrix was a good film but, In my opinion thats all it can be.
It's an easy answer. I don't agree how ever that we are forced in any way to believe in a specific religion or forced to act in a way, we are free willed if we want to be.....
We don't have to agree to anything anyone tells us to do, there are more of us than there is them.
It is us that choose to do it because it's easier to say ok than hold on a minute here you've stepped over the line.........
If we did live in a matrix then who created it, who created theirs and theirs and theirs....... When was it created and why??
I don't think we live in the Matrix but we are being pushed into an age of knowing. Knowing where you are where you work, what you eat, etc....
There is no Matrix just a bed of roses. (

maybe you can help me out. One thing that has always puzzled me about christs life.
He is born under a bright star heralding his arrival, he is visited by 3 kings, and then what ?
He shows up in jerusalem 30 years later with about 15 followers ? I may be mistaken (probably am), but how do you go from savior to unknown so quickly ?
I only ask because you seem to know your stuff, and most people can't really answer this for me

SOMEONE HAS BEEN WATCHING TOO MANY HOLLYWOOD FILMS
1.) If you have to babble on about religion why not just say that your talking about religion and not the Matrix, your thread is misleading. A religious person being misleading ?????? that's a new concept
2.) Stop the THINK for yourself just a second. Yourself
Last moan coming up ........... The matrix is blinding us? Religion is blinding you my friend, YOU look very foolish babbling on thinking you know something that we dont. We know about life ..... we have as much experience as you do, you dont have the manual to life so dont lecture like you do
