I see your a lady of great faith..
Follow the evidence. The mind/personality/conscience of people is tied exclusively to the brain: when the brain stops functioning, the mind stops too; trauma to the brain can change the mind and personality; drugs can change mind and personality. There is no evidence of a mind/personality at all outside or apart from the brain. So, end the brain and you end the mind/personality/conscience.
No faith required.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
