Things that are true of us that are not true of the brain tells us we are not our brains. We can exist without the brain.
Since objects are divisible and humans are not divisible then we are not merely just objects. You can't be 70% of a person. We are either all persons or not all persons. We are not percentages.
Salt is dissolvable in water, but marble pellets are not; therefore, salt is not marble. Likewise, it is possible we can exist without our natural body, but it is not possible our natural body can exist without our being. Therefore, our being is not our body.
When you consider near death experiences it is possible they show that they could be true. Whereas with your body it is not possible for your body to exist without your body.
If you are just your brain, then you are not morally culpable so no matter what wrong thing you do, it is ultimately not your fault and should not be judged for it.
Murderous O.J. Simpson was let out of prison after just 9 years. You can now kill people and get out of jail in just a few years. To me this is the moral degradation of United States of America. In other countries if not capital punishment, O.J. would still be imprisonment for life.
When you pray and allegedly a certain part of your brain calms down due to praying, this is not your brain causing you to pray, but the brain working as a result of making use of your prayers from your praying spirit. Your soul's free will and your spirit's conscience are the triggers utilizing your brain power's functioning ability. It would be like driving a car. The car doesn't go anywhere unless you start it, press on the gas and turn the wheel. To give it personableness, think of the gasoline as your spirit and your soul making use of your spirit through the mechanics of the vehicle.
