3. when I decide to go for a car drive gas goes into the gas tank, the ignition turns on the engine

using that gas and the vehicle I am driving goes where I want.

The fact that gasoline enables the vehicle to drive doesn't take away the fact that I, the driver, am the one deciding where to go.

If I did not have a car, my feet would have to suffice. I can't go as far on my feet as in a car. But I am still deciding where to go.

Regardless of the chemicals involved and the biology, it's still the person driving my body that is most important.

Unless you are really a strict materialist. But nobody is really a strict materialist in actuality.

No one is going to look at their date and say "I want to satisfy my sexual urges on you because my sex hormones are in control of my behavior".
