The death and rebirth motif goes back much further than christianity
Matrix Revolutions, now, was blatant

lol Jester. Is that what his sect is? Neat. I don't know much about Anglicanism really... a British history course i took last summer tried its best to explain all the Christian divisions to me, and i'm still lost. What is the bend of Anglicans again?

The Aglican Church was created by King Henry the VIII i believe because the Pope wouldn't grant him a divorce, so it's basically Catholic with the English monarch the head of the church instead of the pope. ;D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglican_church

I actually knew all that stuff, then, included a link for your perusal.
Wikipedia is gaining notoriety up to the Britannica level.

I do believe the Anglicans are going to have trouble when Prince Charles becomes king and head of the Anglican Church. Kinda funny when you think about how it got started.

yeah, Wiki's an awesome source for info, but a LOT of schools (postsecondary) reject it because you -never- know whether the information posted is scholarly or not.

Personally, i like it I've done a couple articles on there
