I don't know, but a choice to place one's faith in Jesus Christ is better than both! It provides eternal security & riches beyond human comprehension.
The equivilant of Monopoly money. You may delude yourself about things, but it is just delusion.
If it works for you to make-believe you have what don't, and will get what you won't, well be my guest. However, don't expect learned people to taker you seriously.
Exactly, you just don't "believe it". Proof that "belief" and not just the facts is a big part of the new religion called atheism. Thank you for your honesty.
More like proof and facts are required before they believe some random claim from someone on the internet. That you find that a weakness is telling.
I contend that Atheists operate on a type of faith. If you believe something to be so without proof or evidence then one is operating in faith.

I don't believe in anything without proof or evidence. So no, I don't have faith; thank goodness I actually use my brain instead of just relying on wishes and talking to myself.

It's only a "random claim" to those that are less evolved and live by only their 5 senses. Anyways, non-physical factors (smarts, wishes, dreams, ambition etc etc) are all around us and YES they do shape who we are. This is something I don't have to prove because we all know its the truth. We do use our brains, however I know for a fact that our brains are the receiver of our consciousness (and not the transmitter). Can I provide physical proof of this non-physical truth, no. I can however provide non-physical proof (something that many atheists won't accept). As a result, threads like this one end up being moot.

This is incorrect . . . you are obviously not familiar with the concept of a transceiver. The either/or claim you are making is not supportable since there is no locus in the physical brain where the pure energy composite that is our consciousness can reside. Only recorded instances of its creation and transmission are stored there.
to those that think we need brains to be consiouss,,what about all the living entitys that dont have brains,do they have no consioussness,maybe they have very little consioussness,but none at all...mmm???
