SA, currently on a "Matrix Remembered" trip (pun intended)

Agent Smith (representing Christian personal revelationists): We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice.

Neo (representing those who see reality): Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger... and you give me my phone call.

Here's another one:

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.

"Through Christ I am forgiven."

Christianity is a blue pill. It feels good to be forgiven of everything.

Here is the red pill for you.. here is the harsh reality:

The choices you make in life have concequences. If you do a bad thing, and you will HURT people, perhaps permanently, and that's all there is to it. It's not ok to do bad things. You may not be forgiven.

Can you swallow that reality?

Ah, no, dear JIFB (peace to you!). You entirely miss the point:

Agent Smith (representing "christian" religions, such as the WTBTS): "We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice. [His name is JAHESHUA and his real agenda is to bring us and those like us to nothing. So, help us out: get in, sit down, hang on, and keep your mouth shut. Oh, and turn in anyone who speaks against us and for him]."

Neo (representing those who see reality, including personal revelationists): Yeah. Well, that sounds like a pretty good deal. But I think I may have a better one. How about, I give you the finger... period."

And...

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

Neo: What truth?

Spoon boy: There is no spoon. So, let go of your fear (of bending the spoon - because it's okay, really! You won't get "in trouble"...), doubt (that you can bend the spoon, because you really could if there was a spoon), and disbelief (that the spoon will bend - cause it really isn't about the spoon, at all, anyway)... and you will see that the spoon is only an illusion. It isn't the reality.

How's that?

Peace to you!

Christianity is a blue pill.

Religion is the blue pill, dear HOL (peace to you, as well!). It is "the 'opium' of the people."

It feels good to be forgiven of everything.

It always feels good when a huge weight/burden is lifted from you, dear one. So forgiveness is a kindness, not a panacea.

Here is the red pill for you.. here is the harsh reality: The choices you make in life have concequences. If you do a bad thing, and you will HURT people, perhaps permanently, and that's all there is to it. It's not ok to do bad things. You may not be forgiven.

Hmmmmm... How about this:

"Here is the red pill and the harsh reality: I cannot promise you that once you take it what you will see will be pretty... as to yourself (first and foremost), others, the world you exist in, or any other worlds that exist. But I promise you it WILL be the truth, as to all. So choose for YOURSELF: take the blue pill and remain asleep... or take the red one and be WAKE UP. To decide, you must ask yourself: can you swallow the truth?

Will that work?

Again, peace to you!

Nope, poor dear little blessed child AG - you are wrong -as usual. I had it perfectly right the first time.

There is no spoon, just like there is no Jeheshua.

And again, Anarchy to you!

No.

You didn't say anything meaningful. You made no point whatsoever. You spoke in fantasy and riddles.

PS - I love how your quote says "God damn it" - that sounds like such a perfect reflection of a christlike illustration. All the ones that cuss are my favorite modern day Jesus correlations. It really reaches out to the kids, shows them just how hip Jesus was. Hell, Jesus wasn't just gangsta, he was an all out pimp.

Ahhh, dear JIFB (again, peace to you!): you say "potay-toe"... I say "potah-toe". You say "no spoon"... I say "no spoon." You say "no Jeheshua"... I say, "You're right... no Jeheshua, but there is a JaheShua!"

Peace (or peas, whatever), dear one!

Oh that's right, I forgot, Pimps spell their name with extra capitalized letters. Damn, - Jehiccup was the bomb.
