So you dismiss the Crusades and the Holocaust as "nothing too terrible"? And 9/11 had nothing to do with religious beliefs? And of course, slavery had no religious foundation supporting it? Sorry, I can't agree.
What I meant was in context of people claiming religion was a fraud. If I go out on the street and say religion is a fraud, it's not going to get me shot (usually...I am in the South, after all).
Okay. It's the Matrix. Are we talking "Neo and Agent Smith" here?
If you are referring to what side I am on, I think I would be more an anti-Neo, but even this does not really fit. In a couple of ways, I might even be considered anti-Smith. I have found no allegoric referrences to an outsider betraying the Matrix so there really is no allegoric character with whom I can identify. I suspect if any of my ideas catch on, Superman might have a new villian to contend with. (I know where the "kryptonite" is hidden.)
