Of course there is chemical as well as electrical energy taking place in the brain. No doubt all that stuff is important. I mean you can barely start yanking out bits of the brain before some functions start shutting down.I agree that the chemicals are important and have to be included as making up the "I." It would be interesting if scientists explored it that way and began to study how different parts of the "self" are stored in different parts of the brain. Much more interesting than dismissing the "self/I" as some ineffable illusion.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
