Cory, I dissagree with you on one fundamental point: You believe 'The world is what you make of it so enjoy it while it lasts'(not a direct quote) more or less. I believe that there is a purpose beyond ourselves. There is more to life than just enjoyment.
Either point of view could be valid so I respect your opinion.

Jesus did not make another system of controle. He presented everyone with a choice. Accept Him or reject Him.
It is up to you to make the choice. No one is controling you. Just like what I said at the end of my first post: If you don't like it you don't have to choose it.
It (like the Matrix) all comes down to free will and a choice.

One last small note. Tolkien avoided Allegory (he even wrote that he detested it). He wrote a fictional history which can be applied in many, many ways (Mordor could represent the Axis forces and the Ring Atomic power for example).
