Matrixism

rdfs:comment

Matrixism is a new religious movement based on the worship of Keanu Reeves. The Hollywood movies The Matrix and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures are Matrixism's primary sources of religious scripture. An ingenious social engineering meme, disguised as a religion, that has been created by Stephen Colbert and propogated by heroes. This meme/religion or "memigion" was designed with the dual purposes of a.) Tricking Muslims and other Godless heathens into becoming Christians and b.) Shoving the truth, namely that Wikipedia is a collection of left wing Communist untruthiness, down the flabby gullets of factonistas. Matrixism or The path of the One is a new religious movement inspired by the motion picture trilogy The Matrix. Conceived by an anonymous group in the summer of 2004 it claims to have attracted 300 members by May of 2005, and the religion's Geocities website currently claims "over sixteen hundred members". There is some debate about whether followers of Matrixism are indeed serious about their practice; however, the religion (real or otherwise) has received significant attention in the media.

Matrixism or The path of the One is a new religious movement inspired by the motion picture trilogy The Matrix. Conceived by an anonymous group in the summer of 2004 it claims to have attracted 300 members by May of 2005, and the religion's Geocities website currently claims "over sixteen hundred members". There is some debate about whether followers of Matrixism are indeed serious about their practice; however, the religion (real or otherwise) has received significant attention in the media. Matrixism is described by its founders as a syncretic or ecumenical religion. Though Matrixists cite references to "the matrix" from an obscure text of the Baha'i Faith, called "The Promulgation of Universal Peace", to make a connection with broader world religious history, the commercial Matrix trilogy, along with related mass media products such as video games, is generally considered to be the "sacred text" of the movement. Matrixism carries with it four main beliefs that are described as "The Four Tenets of Matrixism". Briefly these are: belief in a messianic prophecy, use of psychedelics as sacrament, a perception of reality as multi-layered and semi-subjective, and adherence to the principles of at least one of the world's major religions. The Matrixism website singles out April 19 as a holiday - known as Bicycle Day, April 19 marks the anniversary of Albert Hofmann's 1943 experiment with LSD. The adopted symbol for Matrixism is the Japanese Kanji symbol for "red". This symbol was used in the video game Enter the Matrix. The color is a reference to the redpill, which represents an acceptance of and ability to see truth, as established early in the first Matrix film.
