what would make you change your beliefs?

As far as I know because I know of no evidence of anything non-physical.

No, that doesn't follow. Just because there are things that I don't perceive doesn't mean that any of it is non-physical.

Quote: Yet you say that there's no evidence for the nonphysical.
As far as I know, yes.

Quote: Ok, you may not perceive the nonphysical, but you acknowledge that it must exist.
No. How must it exist?

Quote: If evidence means something you can perceive, then ok, there's no evidence that you can perceive (which again refers to your ability rather than what's really there).
I didn't understand this part. No evidence that I can perceive what?

Quote: But if evidence means a reason to believe, then you believe.
Evidence is a reason for me to believe. And I hope to go for valid evidence before I believe.

Quote:The consciousness bit I'll give you (that's just my thing).

Irrationally holding on to it eh? Try doubting a bit. Try asking for evidence for that belief of yours until you realize "Why would it be true? Where's the evidence? Oh yeah I get it. It makes no sense to believe it truly is the case with no valid reason/evidence backing it whatsoever."
