I've got news, folks. "The Matrix" is not a Christian movie. It doesn't even have Christian "underpinnings." I think this is finally sinking in on some after the apparently homoerotic sequel.

It borrows some symbolism and terminology from Christianity. Big deal. So does "Cool Hand Luke" and about 5000 other movies, but nobody from my church is running around telling me how I "just have to see 'Cool Hand Luke! It's like sooooo Christian!"

The first "Matrix" was highly entertaining. I haven't seen the second one. But c'mon, entertaining is good enough. If you enjoy it, great. So do I. But don't try to paint some super-spiritual gloss on your enjoyment of it. It's simply well-done, pagan entertainment, nothing more.
