Was looking at your web site's comments re: Matrix- it's very insightful. I think there may be one overall comment worth making on the theme that is woven in your commentary: "Life is not what it seems!"

Actually, reality IS knowable for the Christian (Col 2:8)-- the world is knowable (Rom 1)-- it is not a Matrix per se, but what God has made, just as we are. I think that some care has to be taken to not weaken the Christian epistemology-- we CAN know things-- That is, we are created with reliable sense mechanism, with operational inferential faculties and given incomplete knowledge, but real knowledge just the same, about certain transcendent aspects of God and His shining city...

An analogical worldview is fine, but it depends upon reasoning from attributes of this world and our nature toward the future world and our Maker. Yours seems to make some conclusions from the movie, thus going the other way [this road ends up in a Hinduistic-like syncretism if taken to its logical conclusion].

Otherwise, you have many fine insights.
