One should not dismiss emotions simply because they are chemical reactions, life is a chemical reaction, but we imbue it with enough meaning and value to make even the concept of god look trivial by comparison. A person CHOOSES how and what they live their lives for, many even get to choose what to die for(and even do it with a smile at times), even if it can be reduced to chemical reactions you couldn't divide with the number of fucks I give about WHERE it comes from.
I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.
If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.
