Yeah Matrix is awesome!
Funny how Neo pretty much turned out to be Jesus though haha
I have a lot of favorite lines about religion in movies, comics and books.
One of them are from the manga, Berserk.
The main character, Guts aka the black swordsman is a branded man haunted by spirits that possess the living and the dead all want to kill him and the woman he loves.
He gets captured by the vatican and stripped of his clothing and weapons. He faces a woman to answer for his crimes against god.
The woman wishes to know his motives and threatens him with fire.
Then the amazing dialogue:
Guts: Do you... believe in god and the devil?
Woman: How dare you even ask such a thing...
After I told you not to take his name in vain...
Guts: Have you met him?
God?
Woman: God in his glory does not show himself upon this earth.
God exists because we have faith.
In my heart... and even more so in heaven.
Guts laughs
Woman: How dare you laugh!
Guts: Your answer is like drawing a picture.
You study that in a cloister?
A long time ago... on a battlefield, there was a nobleman who spoke like you...
There was a town that had been burned completely to the ground, along with the women, and the children.
The man I speak of had filled the ranks with penniless beggars.
They never stood a chance in this shi t duty and there was no sign of god.
Confession was a waste of time. They could not repent or change.
They would never understand what you have just told me.
At most, one of them might have passed by the temple and smelled the stink of it's splendor.
Woman gets mad and starts whipping Guts on his chest.
Woman: I shall not forgive you again.
And then I shall not stop until your skin is falling away from your body, and I am certain your mouth will never speak again. I swear by my faith.
Guts: You couldn't if you tried.
With your god.. and your commanders..
It all comes down to human ambition.
That old bridge knight(one of her very loyal comrades).
When he spoke to you.
You had the same respect for him...
As the other guy had for the beggars.
Woman completely loses it this time.
