Is the Matrix an analogy of resisting futuristic tyranny, or an attempt to dismantle the doctrine of Christ? Though I can see either interpretation, the following evidence suggests the latter.

UNCLEAN CONTENT
-If for no other reason than the unclean content that fills this movie, this movie would be detectable as a movie inspired by Satan. God doesn’t teach with such means.This reveals the movie’s overall philosophy is not pro-God/nature and anti tyranny, but rather pro Lucier and tyranny.
-The movies are inherently violent, and gratuitously so.
-Several characters are dressed very immodestly.
-There is at least one sex scene.
-Frequent foul language
TRINITY AS UNHOLY GHOST
-Neo meets Trinity, the Holy Ghost symbol, at a dirty bar.
-Trinity Holy Ghost hover bird shape move
-Neo dies and Trinity in her kiss gives him the breath of life resurrecting him, and sparks are shown in the background, giving the spark of life.
-saves Neo at a place with a street sign of a biblical significance
-Her costume is immodest in how tight it is
NEO AS ANTI CHRIST:
-Neo is obviously a Christ figure. He is a Messianic hero. This is a potentially useful motif in many stories and analogies. However, the way he is depicted and the philosophies he espouses suggest that he is more of an antichrist than a Christ.
-Neo dies in a cross shape
-Thomas A Anderson is Neo’s name; Thomas is the doubting apostle, the one who demanded tangible evidence.
-Neo (new) Ander (man) son (son): New son of man.
-Neo says he will show a world without boundaries or limits. But of course such a world cannot be.
-Neo finally ascends like Christ; questionable music is played during this by heavy metal band Rage Against The Machine.
-Neo much more violent and revolutionary than Christ as far as methods of revolution go.
MORPHEUS AS LUCIFER
-He offers Neo the fruit of the tree via the pills which have power to eject him from the Matrix
-tells Neo the Matrix is what he experiences when he goes to work (communist anti work), when he goes to church (anti religion), and when he pays his taxes (anti government and social order)
-He tells Neo to follow a white porn symbol rabbit to a bar
-He gives Neo instantaneous skills which Neo doesn’t have to work for. This resembles communism of getting things for free, and resembles deals with the Devil, where in exchange for the soul, a candidate gets great skill, etc.
-The ship of the rebels is called Nebuchadnezzar, symbolizing the stone that would smash the icon.
ORACLE AS FALSE PROPHET
-She tells Neo that he is NOT the one, lying to him because ‘that’s what he needs to hear’. But true prophets don’t lead people via lies.
-She gets turned into an agent, whose job is to police and destroy those who question the Matrix
ZION AS HELL
-Zion is depicted as a nasty rave
-Zion is depicted as underground deep in the earth, the typical area symbolized as hell.
-Everyone is jumping around in a disorderly way, and scantily clothed.
CREATOR GOD AS EVIL TYRANT
-Some argue the Matrix is good as it suggests resistance against a futuristic tyranny. Here I’ll explain why I don’t think this was really the case.
-The philosophies that inspired the matrix weren’t that the God of nature is good and the system of control is bad, but that Jehovah the creator made this earth as a place of control, that our bodies are bad and usurp our spirits, that Lucifer was the good guy, and that Jehovah was banned for his tyranny.
-The creator of the world as we know it is shown as the bad guy. This is anti God. It isn’t saying the false system is bad and nature is good, its saying life on earth itself is bad.
-Several homicides have said they did what they did because they were freeing people from the Matrix.
