You real sure? For the majority of our "beliefs", I expect that the red pill would blow most of our treasured and protected dogmas right out of the water. And you see, right here on CC, the vehement resistance to that ever being allowed to happen.
People seem to often fight harder for "what they now believe", than for what might more closely resemble Jesus' teaching.

Yeah, in The Matrix, the leader Morpheus tells newcomer Neo, "You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. (Which is as Willie-T says, the religious belief system) You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. (Or as Willie-T says, God's Truth, reality) Nothing more."
I really liked this scene where Neo realizes that his perception has been all wrong. And like the Word of God says, "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal." (II Corinthians 4:18) and "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)

And of course, I love this scene where Neo's eyes are finally opened to all the lies of the Matrix (the temporal or carnal world) and says, "No!" to all the lies he once believed. He looks at all the bullets (the lies) that once attacked his mind and refuses to believe them real anymore. I cry every time I watch this because that's exactly how Jesus opened my eyes to all the things that kept me in great fear most of my life. The greatest fear was that I could lose my salvation if I messed up. But the Lord proved to me that He loved me first, He chose me and that nothing would ever separate me from Him. Not even my fears. \
