Is the matrix spiritual?

good, evil, fate, messiah, prophets, purpose, predestination, a real world in war while everyone is caught up in another world obviously oblivious to whats really happening- so much spiritual content. but what religion are the brothers actually pointing to?

well...i think so...

my friend said that she read/saw an interview with the Wachowski brothers. Apparently they were talking about how they did intend Zion to be the biblical Zion...which was the promised land for the Jews (symbolizing Isreal)

There are many names that are in myths...Morphues, Trinity, Zion, Nebuchednezzer and i think there are more...

Its pretty obvious this is christianity.

The one, The neb, Trinity, Zion, The architect


Those are the most obvious, but the list gets deeper and deeper as you start paying attention to the religious analogies.

There's Buddhism too....

There's pretty much something of everything, but I believe Christianity and Buddhism are holding the key notes....
Osyris

It is Christianity, but most of all - and because of the "Architect" - it is Masonry.
