"That makes you a Christian." You may say.
Not quite, I cuss. I have premarital sex. I believe in killing someone if the cause is just, i.e. eye for an eye.
As for the red pill..
It can lead you to other things.
Just as everyone has their own God, it may not necessarily be the same for the next person.
But.. The red pill, is what you make it.

If this doesn't seem like it relates to Matrix, bear with me. It'll get there.
Steppenwolfe, you said that you are not quite a Christian because you have premarital sex, you cuss, and you believe in killing someone if the cause is just.
First of all, God believes in killing someone if the cause is just. In the old testament it says cursed is the man who is not willing to defend his family.
In war, if you are in that war to protect your family and your homeland, then you are justified in killing people. You are not justified if someone kills a loved one, and you kill them just to take revenge. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.
And please don't anyone mention the Iraq war and whether or not it is just. I don't want to get into a political debate here.
Anyways, secondly, you are still a Christian if you have premarital sex and cuss. You are still a Christian if you murder. If you kill. If you rape or incest.
In Romans it says "that if you confess with your mouth jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Those are the basic criteria for salvation, and it says nothing about sinning certain sins cancelling that out. so, even though premarital sex and cussing are sins, they do not cancel your being a christian.
I sometimes cuss. I have impure thoughts about women. I lie. I take the name of the lord in vain.
But I am a Christian anyways.
All this to say, you said, the red pill is what you make it.
In a way this is true.
But in a way it is not.
God, or the red pill, is the same for everybody. Morpheus probably gives that choice to everybody whose mind he frees, and they all must choose between red and blue.
Red=God
Blue=No God.
Notice I didn't say devil. Just a lack of god.
But, what, really, is lack of light?
Darkness.
The machines may not have started out bad guys, but maybe they became bad guys. After all, when humans and machines went into all-out war against one another, did the machines even try to make peace?
No.
You could say that they are logical, and can't feel.
But 001 felt. That is his name, right?
You could also argue that the machines thought the humans would never change their minds.
It is a possiblity, but like I was saying....
Red pill=God
Blue pill=No God
Red pill=Light
Blue pill=lack of light?
And what is lack of light if not darkness?
What is darkness if not the opposite of light?
And if god is light......
Free your minds.
