“The self is not material.
If you think the self is material, you’re in error.
The self is immaterial, and it is eternal.
Pain and suffering are material, so they don’t last. Least of all do they define the self.”
You got three out of four correct—and then you blow it.
What we do here and what happens to us does matter—even to our eternal selves.
Pretty much every religion agrees on that.
I didn’t say pain and suffering don’t matter. I said they don’t last.
Other religions contradict, on logical grounds, the Gospel of Christ, therefore they are not true, so why would we believe them?
