I don't know why they are here either. I'm happy we do have theists here, but I'd love to know their real reasons.
I hear this weird argument a lot, "Why don't you want there to be an afterlife?" As if the existence of an afterlife depends on whether or not I believe in it, or claim knowledge about it, before it happens.
This seems to be how things work in religion. "Well, I don't believe in a literal Hell." Either there is a literal Hell or there isn't, and either way it doesn't toggle between them every time someone states their belief about it. This is where evidence comes in.
