Perhaps none of us know the truth

[robvalue]

If someone could even define what an "afterlife" is, in terms that make any sense at all, involving things that have actually been shown to exist, then at least there would be a debate. Right now it's just people telling magical stories, and there's no particular reason to take them seriously. Same goes for God, and other woo concepts.

Few people claim to know the truth about everything, and if they do, I agree they are misguided.

(Sure, anyone can say, "Maybe [any old nonsense]". Fine. We have a limited amount of time in our lives, so it makes sense to consider those claims which have some evidence behind them as a priority. Those that don't can wait until some has been provided. If no one can find any evidence, then it can't be much of a pressing issue.)
