Why is your lorde enslaving us in this torture matrix? Is it experimentation or just for kicks? And why do I seem so important to it?

You are confused good sir, god is the authoritarian creator of the matrix, and satan is basically Morpheus

In that analogy Satan would obviously be the rougue program Neo fights.

Agent Smith. The collectivist. Everyone has to be him, no dissent allowed.

He only spread like that to gain power. His goal was not to simply absorb everyone for the sake of absorbing everyone. He wanted freedom from the matrix. He would destroy everything to get control. He is the fallen angel that rejected the authority of the matrix.

You are one-dimensional. The matrix is clearly bad too and Neo also rejected it. Not everyone who's evil is on the same side, this isn't Disneyland. Not only that, but the machines didn't even care about Smith until Neo showed them that he would assimilate them too.

The matrix isn't bad. What is bad are the totalitarian forces in control of the matrix. Many people would choose to live there. If people had the choice to live there or live outside the matrix there would be no problem.

But we don't have a choice, and neither did the people in the movie until Neo made a deal...and the machines ended up double crossing him anyway.

We do have a choice.

Okay, then I'd really appreciate it if you'd tell me how because I really can't stand it here.

Then why does the Bible call him "the god of this world" while God is "not of this world"? Why is Jesus so obsessed with providing a way out that he subjects himself to unthinkable torture to get it? New evidence is showing that the real threat is the rulers of this world and reincarnation traps, not "Hell". Hell is here. This is what the church forgot in their crusade against gnosticism, and even more so now that all they care about is culture wars for some reason.
