AJ you are a master of cyclical reasoning . I believe in the afterlife . Why ? Because the bible says there is one .
To think that our consciousness will end after death is silly...
To declare that our consciousness will disappear after biological failure, must be discussed.
Consciousness sometimes become limited when brain, physical attributes, limits physical behaviours to a point that is not normal. However, individuals have emotions yet and still that is apart from physical attributes and elements. Those who are paralyzed can sometimes show signs of emotions during a critical time (when the decision of death is made) though their body limits her signs of emotions, she is fully able to feel, inside, emotions to object against death sentence.
Even a mentally unstable people share common traits. They feel guilt or happiness.
Sometimes, I believe, emotions that are from consciousness are not produced by brain itself. Brain itself is a product of consciousness to output the emotion of consciousness itself.
Mind exists because conscious allows it to be so, not because the brain allows it to be so. To have a pure and powerful consciousness to to control body's natural temptation such as sexual attraction, rage, and sadness. Though these are sometimes product of consciousness, the mind of the brain itself contributes some to the consciousness of the that person.
Fortunately, consciousness can combat such threat under some circumstances.
Our consciousness still exist in our sleeping also. Our consiouness acts as observer of events in the mind and sometimes, if possible, contributing to our dreams.
And to see all these beauty of my consciousness and its output and product is to have no purpose and no reason but reason of no reason is unacceptable.
I can find no reason to be atheist, I'd rather have purpose that is originally mine, I'd rather worship the creator of this consciousness than to disclose his existence due to lack of physical evidence.
