1. Life has worth 2. You don’t know what comes after 3. The people in your life 4. Drugs and therapy are getting better by the day 5. Someone out there needs you- maybe you don’t think so and maybe not yet but they do 6. You want help- you wouldn’t be asking otherwise, which means there is part of you that wants to live

Certainty is as much faith as religion. Consciousness isn’t fully understood and the spirit can’t be scientifically proven or disproven, therefore believing in one or the other is faith.

I am a psychology major and consciousness is as understood as gravity and evolution are. You cannot experience things with no neurons. It’s simply not possible

I’m a physics and bioinformatics major- Yes perception relies entirely on neurons, but consciousness itself (and what that even means) is still debated. If we are using the mirror test sure, but I’m talking about the possibility of something else.

The ability to be a functioning person is the brain, we know because when people are brain dead they don’t think nor are they conscious

You have to believe Christianity is true for that and your own book can’t even be true due to countless factors like the age of the earth and the fact that natural selection exists
