Proof Mind is Fundamental and Matter Doesn't Exist

with an immortal soul no matter what happens, you're just experiencing a manifestation of matter that doesn't effect your soul.

now, I would like to point out that though i'm an idealist i'm also a Christian (as it says on my religious views). just because this world is a mental manifestation doesn't mean it's void of purpose. I would say an idealistic interpretation would better explain why the physical doesn't matter, it's only your heart that has true value. as Jesus said, sinning is not about actions but intentions. he says 'thou shalt not murder but I say to you if you hate your brother, you have already committed murder.' sin is about the intent in your heart, not the physical actions. idealism better explains why that is.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
