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

I do know what comes after, it’s nothing, one cannot experience anything once their brain is destroyed

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.

Regardless don’t kill yourself, we need more mental health workers. Especially those who can understand their clients

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

I think we have very different ideas of what that is but even if we choose to disregard that one point the rest still stand

But your argument still relies on faith that there is no religion, if Christianity is true (I believe it is) then your reality is not limited to physics and what we understand. The world was spoken into existence, if He can do that, then believing in life after death of the physical body is not impossible either. So it just goes back to having faith in life after death or nothing. And both require faith so, no, you cannot be certain of what happens after you die. Nobody alive can be certain.

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

So you have faith in science. Still faith no matter how much yall claim to know about the world, you don’t know everything.

This is the same response that a island tribesman would have if you tried to explain to him about science and physics. The root of you not willing to accept that Christianity could be true is that fact that you think you know everything. You know very little in the grand scheme of things, how hard is it to accept that something that you don’t understand might be true.
