What beliefs would we consider reasonable for a self proclaimed Christian to hold?

"He who farts in church sits in own pew."

I can make nonsensical aphorisms too, they don't say anything.  They're just an attempt to deflect attention away from a palpable difficulty.

I've heard that one before. However, I was referring to what seems obvious to me, and that is that consciousness is not of the body. Our thoughts do not come from random electrical impulses in the brain. Neither did our bodies come about by random acts of nature. It was designed just like a Boeing 747. Nature had billions of years to design a 747, but it didn't. Our bodies are much more complicated than a 747. There is a big problem with nature did it.

Our thoughts DO come from electrical impulses in the brain.  They can be measured, and mapped specifically to an area of the brain.
The difference between the "design" of a Boeing 747 and a human body is that the 747 is a GOOD design and the human body is most definitely NOT.  All sorts of problems are directly caused by one little evolutionary step - standing up - just for a start.
