Matrix and Origins |
I guess, according to the anti-religious, the Matrix is a bunch of
Christian fundamentalists for saying the following statement in their
commercials...
"Everything with an ending must have a beginning..."
It is being used to advertise the first Matrix movie. However, when a
Christian uses this reasoning to point to a Creator, it is routinely
dimissed as christian propaganda. Does that make the Matrix's
creators Christian?

You really should update your movie-referencing boilerplate. It's
time for the kooks to start referencing _Van Helsing_, if its
weekend box-office take is any indication.

Sure. Just like everyone who's ever said "in my mind's eye" or
"dead as a doornail" or "in the twinkling of an eye" therefore
has to be Shakespeare.
[incidentally, perhaps you'll share with us where you got the silly
idea that standard cosmology claims that the universe had no beginning?]

The silly thing about this argument is that they routinely follow this
universal statement with a single exception which rather begs the question.

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

No. Everything you stated above is silly.

I find it wise not to base or try to prop-up world views based on movies.

Or books, especially long anthologies of questionable provenance.

If you want the "Matrix" script writers on your side, dude, you can
_have_ them. With my compliments. I think you're making a big mistake,
though.
