I never could understand the need of preachers to find common ground between movies / fiction and the Bible. Its like if there aren't enough stories in the Bible to give a message. Its hardly likely that when the Matrix trilogy was being created that they were thinking, [I]Let's see how we can make this just like stories from the Bible...."
I think they are using the movie because most teens know the movie better than they would a story from the Bible and I guess the end result is the point of the story more than the story itself. That's just my take it doesn't matter to me either way.
