Silly question about "The Matrix"...

I hope this hasn't been done before

...

Here we go : it is fairly obvious than there are Christians in the Matrix

...

Since they didn't got their sacraments "for real" ( weren't blessed with real holy water, didn't eat real hosts, etc ), do you think they would be sent to Hell

?

I know, it's a stOOpid question... but I had to ask

Of course not, because there is no hell.

First off, don't automatically rag on Christians because they happen to be Christians. I think it's highly insulting.

Second, no they probably wouldn't, because they were being lied to.

--That depends on which Christian you talk to. Some would say yes they all go to the pits of fire, while others would say that only bad ones go to hell.

Only the fundies believe in everyone going to Hell unless you're a true Bible basher, fundamentalists exist in every walk of life, not just religion.

Like German tourists, the stupid are everywhere.

Boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the Hell that bends, it is only yourself."

Works for me.

Wouldn't the time of the Matrix be equivalent of the rule by the Anti-Christ?

Um, why would not eating real bread at communion = eternal damnation?

What a moronic thread.

The problem is that the whole thing is a simulation, and the people in it have no idea that the "real" world is just a simulation. So I don't see any reason why the people would be damned...

well cuz then jesus cannot become the bread, thus you dont get your sacrament, thus you go to hell. Though i guess if you get Extreme Unction from a priest all that doesnt matter.
