Great post.

It illustrates well for the true-believing Christian the folly of relying on secular humanism for true knowledge of meaning and existence.

It was a shame that he held to a notion that his mind was something on the mere level of one of the machines he created, or that a machine could, in principle, rise to that.

His mind was more. But it was being abused by Satan. As every human, he had the right to claim the universal offer of Christ (I know this isn’t Calvinist and so what, there are biblical references that back it up). But to outward appearance he declined, yet only God knows for sure. IIRC, in a suicide note he mused about the original sin (which is why he did it by consuming poison applied to an apple). Maybe at the very end he came to grips with his need and finally yielded as his mortal life dissolved away. I could not wish less, and neither could God.
