Even at that can it be proven an afterlife does or does not exist? We still have no idea to this day about how we came about and what if a prophet of old was actually legit? |

"What if they weren't?" That kinda question won't progress the topic what-so-ever. I'd rather bank on the life I know being the good one, and letting it come to closure. Afterlife sounds incredibly boring, eventually leading to the point where you'd rather die anyway. |

I could ask you the same thing in the opposite way. Why live your life in hopes of an afterlife? Why bother? I don't think anything happens either way. I'm neither religious or Atheist. Agnostic. I don't know what happens when you die and I'm not about to sit down and think about it for a long time because I know I'm not gonna figure it out. I'd rather just keep living and prolong the unknown (which is, potentially, absolute nothingness. It is, potentially, complete hell. There's also the potential that it's a blissful heaven.) The point is, I know my life is good and I'm not gonna lie and tell you that I'd be fine if I died tomorrow. |

I'm not saying I'd be better off if I died, that's not what I'm implying, didn't mean it to sound that way. But why live life without the thought that there is something beyond? Would you not be happier thinking of a loved one's soul passing on and that one day you can meet them again rather than "they're in the ground lol"? It's just a matter of belief. this topic is just full of questions without answers. you cannot debate what's beyond, as there are no facts to support either side, just believe what you want. It's one of those. |

No matter what I believe, it won't change what actually happens to that person. And if it did (ie, if the afterlife was somehow based on an individual's perception of it) all that would do is create that person's soul in MY heaven. My own beliefs won't affect the afterlife of my granddad, for example. So me believing doesn't make me feel any better about him being dead. He's still dead. If I do see him again in Heaven, that's great. But believing in Heaven isn't going to make that more likely. So instead of believing or not believing, I choose to do neither and not worry about things that, as you pointed out, are based entirely on faith. |

This I agree with, since afterlife isn't certain why count on it? |

Exactly. If you aren't worried about death because you think there's something beyond, you're just setting yourself up to be disappointed if there isn't. |

Well actually if there isn't an afterlife than you cannot be dissappointed because you're rotting in the earth. Or being burned to a crisp in a big oven. |

What I mean is, you'll be expecting something and won't even know that you didn't get it. |

I believe there is a God. Because I believe in God I also believe in an afterlife of heaven or hell. I too fear death but I'm not afraid to die for friends or family. |
