So you will show the world that EPN is a cult?  You know same clothes, similar facial style, same hair style/color.  Eh whatever floats your boat. 

Running around the city, wearing a bandana over your face isn't really as "cool" as some would think. Plus the fact that wearing something associated with crime to the same blue pills the Cypherites are trying to reassure and keep asleep is a bit of a contradiction, but hey whatever floats your boat, right?

There's a difference between wearing something to show your association, like a mask, a patch, or a arm band, and pretty much going full blown out with it like EPN has.  EPN reminds me of a cult back in the 20th Century of US History, called the Heavens Gate Cult, the similarities are astounding.

The Cypherites remind me of the masked bandits in the western United States back in the late 19th century that run around for some "outlaw" that really works for the sherrif. The similarities are astounding there too. Myself and others in EPN don't need to wear a prophet duster or make our RSI's look like Neo to show our affiliation. Our actions speak for themselves.

As a matter of fact, I can't remember the last time I saw someone in EPN go "full-blown out" EPN as you say. Sure you've always got a couple that fit the stereotype, but that's the same in each organization.

They're willing to forego reason and throw away their lives on the words of their prophet, and to commit acts of violence on the words of their prophet too.  So I look at them more as a terrorist group than a cult (although there are certainly religious elements to them as well).

Yeah, and the Cypherites are really the Gestapo. I get it now. The Cypherites existed long before EPN did, but terrorist acts against the last human city aren't really terrorist acts though, I guess. Oh yeah, and I suppose there's reason in what Machines, Machinists, and Cypherites do, but not Zion, EPN, and some Merovingians. We're all heathens after all, I understand. SMILEY

No, it's because of the machines that I was alive, blissfully asleep, it was because of the EPNs that I was awoken, and it's now because I am a Cypherite that I wish to prevent others from being awoken in the same manner that I was.

If you replace some words in there, it also means that the Machines and Machinists are terrorists too? Ah well no, of course you aren't. You work "for the greated good". There is no such act as terrorism in the goverment you obey.

I do what I do because it's what I feel is right, not because somebody told me that God/Neo/The Flying Spaghetti Monster wanted me to.
