Please don't think I'm making an argument for or against - matters of this sort are not up for logical debate - I am just interested in understanding other people's points of view. When I ask questions, it's just to find a deeper understanding of another's point of view, and, I suppose, it also displays to some extent my own point of view.
You mention that the thought of your conciousness as an illusion makes you feel uncomfortable. Does conciousness have to be an illusion if there is no such thing as a soul? My conciousness feels pretty real to me, it may not be everlasting, but there is a time before which I do not remember, and, I suppose a time after which I will no longer be. But it doesn't feel illusionary.
