A/N:The 10 Commandments

How To Properly Worship The Only True God

First

"I am The Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the

house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me."

Second

"You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything

that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the

water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I The

Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the

children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate Me, but

showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love Me and keep My

Commandments."

Third

"You shall not take The Name of The Lord your God in vain; for The Lord will not

hold him guiltless who takes His Name in vain."

Fourth

"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all

your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to The Lord your God; in it you

shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or

your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for

in six days The Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them,

and rested the seventh day; therefore The Lord blessed the Sabbath day and

hallowed it."

How To Live In Peace With Humanity:

Fifth

"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which

The Lord your God gives you."

Sixth

"You shall not kill."

Seventh

"You shall not commit adultery."

Eighth

"You shall not steal."

Ninth

"You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

Tenth

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's

wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything

that is your neighbor's."

(Exodus 20:2-17 RSV)

DISCLAIMER: Firstly, I don't own right to the Bible. It's not my style. Secondly, I don't own the characters of the Matrix. What follows is a parody, and is written purely to entertain others, not as a money-making serious thing. PLEASE don't sue me, it wouldn't be worth the lawyers' fees. Besides, plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.

A/N 2: No offence to all you truly religious people out there. I have nothing against religion, in general, just so long as it's not aimed at me in particular. I'm an agnostic/athiest type person, and any flames on *that* subject will lead to poisonous frogs... My frogs rule!

A/N 3: Thanks to Blake, who is probably the only person waiting on this fic. But hey, I'm gonna keep going. You can't stop me.

Black screen. In green text, is the wording 'TO BE CONTINUED IN ANOTHER FANFIC'. Suddenly the lettering goes all Matrix Code-y and is repleced with 'THERE HAS BEEN A TEMPORARY SERVICE FAULT. PLEASE DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET.' Five hours later, the screen changes to a church scene. MORPHEUS is walking towards a confession box, in the Matrix. He sits down, and the PRIEST coughs.

PRIEST: God bless you, my son.

MORPHEUS: Forgive me father, for I have sinned. It is a month since my last confession.

PRIEST: The Lord is all-forgiving my son. How have you sinned?

MORPHEUS: I have broken the first Commandment. And the second Commandment. And the fourth Commandment. And I'm going to break the tenth commandment in the next movie. Damn but that Niobe is wasted on Locke!

PRIEST: You want forgiveness from a God you do not believe in?

MORPHEUS: Hey, I'm not writing this. The author picked up on the religious undertones of the first movie when writing an A-Level coursework essay and decided to spoof it.

PRIEST: Oh. In what ways have you broken the commandments?

MORPHEUS: I have sworn my life to the service of the One, that he may protect Zion from the machines.

Weird wiggy morph thing as PRIEST morphs into an unnamed AGENT, and smashes through the compartment wall

MORPHEUS: Goddammit

TRINITY runs in and slaps MORPHEUS

TRINITY: Bitch! That's *my* line!

MORPHEUS: Meep!

TRINITY shoots the AGENT and misses. She runs off. The AGENT grabs MORPHEUS.

AGENT: Give me the codes to Zion!

MORPHEUS: Never!

Agent: Give me the codes to the Zion mainframe.

MORPHEUS: Never!

A scanner goes off with a beep as NEO, loaded to the teeth with guns, walks in.

MORPHEUS: When the hell did churches get metal detectors?

AGENT: This is a church, idiot. It's holy ground. We'd better add breaking the *third* commandment to your list.

NEO: Catch!

NEO throws an unpinned hand grenade at the AGENT, then flies and grabs MORPHEUS just as it blows up, the explosion setting off several hundred Molotov cocktails suddenly set into the foundations of the church.

NEO: Whooooooooooooo! That was a big explosion!

MORPHEUS: Geek.

OK, part 1 done. I ran out of ideas for Morpheus. Part two will be posted when I can be bothered writing it.
