The matrix is one 'reality' or "Dimension" The fact that Neo/Us actually exist outside of the 'Matrix' makes us trans-dimensional. From the persepective of everything else in this 'reality.'
Quote:If it was "meaningless", then by necessity it was also pointless to do so, therefore God (in your worldview) has made pointless decisions that merely caused countless individuals unbearable agony and some get an eternity of punishment afterward even if they were ignorant of their apparent sinful plight.Just because something does not have value, does not mean it is without purpose.
Quote:They're asking why God put us through that, when you yourself have already admitted it was meaningless, and there was no necessity in Him having allowed such trauma to occur at all.Again just because we are not justified in assigning 'moral value' to what happens to us in this life does not mean what we do in this life is pointless.
I have described in detail what the point of this life is.
Quote:So, God jails us in a shithole of sin, evil, depravity, pain, war, famine, etc. (in your theology), with no consent from us being apparent and for no known crime that each individual would be guilty of being known, and then following it up with either an eternity of praising him or beimg tortured in fire and sulphur, and you still wonder why?Again how do you know there was no consent from us?
