The Gospel According to Neo

Xel writes "Josh Burek, writer for The Christian Science Monitor and A.K.A. the guy who sits 4 cubicles from me, has written an excellent essay on religion in The Matrix: The Gospel According to Neo. Sure, this topic has been covered ad nauseum, but it's refreshing to see such a thoughful examination aimed not at geeks alone but a broader, more traditional, and more traditionally religious audience. It also has a nice little glossary at the end where even pasty-faced and vinyl-clad Matrix worshippers may find some easter eggs they didnt know."

    {"...Comp Repair (A/Net+) class we've been watching The Matrix all day.."}

    "Great! Could you send me your resume? I was looking for some qualified techs!"

    That crack makes more sence than you think. I didn't attend classes or study for the A+ exam. In fact I didn't even read the book.

    I still finished in 12 minutes with a passing score.

    More importantly customers who don't know what certs I have are impresed with my work. So enogh confidence to goof off in A+ class is a good sign :)

    I'm 17 and in high-school..
    I don't know what I did to you, or what personal problem you're taking your anger out on me because.. but you need to realize what you just did:
    You insulted somebody you don't know, for a reason you can't explain, AND it was done over the internet (while not logged in to /.).. You've just insulted yourself while trying to insult me.

    The name? What does my nick have to do with anything I've posted?
    *sigh*

    You are posting on Slashdot. You will be insulted. It's just part of the turf. Get used to it.
