We aren't trying to entertain anyone by going to church; we're just showing gratitude for everything we've been given and asking for guidance.
Wait, did you say your brain just turns off??? Do you actually believe in the human spirit or things like an aura? If you think it's strictly just brain function, how do you explain intuition or those other deep states of being?
It’s all in the brain. There is no soul. An aura exists, but it isn't some spiritual essence unique to humans or other living beings; any body warmer than absolute zero has one, including a rock.
The brain contains centers for senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, balance—and centers for instincts like reproduction, hunger, and thirst. That same center handles emotions like love, hate, and aggression, as well as intuition. Then there are the centers for short-term and long-term memory, speech, and reasoning. All these centers together create consciousness. I saw a documentary about a medical case where they had to split a woman's cerebral hemispheres due to a tumor, and now she functions as two separate people in one body.
PS. It's a fact that some of the greatest evils in history were committed by believers. Every mobster is a devout believer who attends mass regularly. Crusaders were devout believers, and countless people were burned by inquisitors because they followed different faiths or different gods. They accused people of flying on broomsticks or being witches and burned them at the stake. They burned scientists simply because they disagreed with religious dogma—like when they insisted the Earth was a flat plate at the center of the universe with the sun revolving around it, rather than a sphere revolving around the sun. Look at what religious extremists are doing today.
