There are lots of questions for which there is no answer or tangible proof. However, the lack of an answer or tangible proof does not create a falsehood.
Also, an acceptable answer or acceptable proof may not be the same from one person to the next.
Everyone, each individual, must choose for themselves what to believe or not to believe, what to follow or not to follow, what to accept or not to accept.
I would suggest that if you truly don't believe there is an "afterlife" then live your life here and now to the fullest and hope you are right in your decision. If you are right, then you have nothing to worry about. If you are wrong, well, too bad for you.
Everyone possesses that powerful thing called "a free will".

First, I never said there wasn't an Afterlife; I don't know if there is, and neither do you.
Second, you are throwing out the Religious dogma bone again; "If you are wrong, well, too bad for you." This is a self justification statement, labeling yourself as better than everyone who doesn't see things the way you do.
What makes you think you are better than a man or woman who has taken a different path than you?

I didn't say I was better than anyone else.
But apparently you seem to think you are better than everyone else since you continue to tell people what they "don't know".
You also continue to do the very thing you accuse everyone else of doing. You throw out "dogma" bones, justify your own self and label yourself as the guy that has it all figured out. With the exception of this ONE question and title of this thread of course.

Oh, yes, you did! You said, too bad for me if I don't go to the place you "THINK" you're going. You didn't say, too bad for yourself, just me.
I'm only telling you and others what they don't know, because they don't. That is the fact, not a lie. I could take any Book in Religion that talks about an Afterlife and say the same thing; they don't know.
Now, if you have met with the dead, and Spectral Evidence is not used, I'm all ears. I'm not justifying myself, I'm only seeking the truth, something you are avoiding.

Ah but I didn't even mention a "place". That's an assumption on your part. You are "assuming" what I "think". But truth is, you do not KNOW what I think.
Again, as individuals, we all choose what to believe or not believe, what to follow or not to follow, what to accept or not accept. We all have to live with our "free will" choices, whatever we believe the results may be. This is true for everyone whether they believe in God or not.
Defy the law of gravity just because you can't see it, suffer the consequences. The law remains true no matter what anyone "thinks". Plain and simple.
Truth is, I don't need any "book", religious or otherwise, to tell me what is true. We make decisions every day as to what we believe to be true without any "books".
You keep "splitting hairs" and flaunting your so called knowledge but what you fail to admit is that what YOU believe to be truth, what you think you know, has no impact on me or anyone else.
I KNOW the earth rotates on its axis not because I (or anyone else) have personally seen it but because I have CHOSEN to believe it and accept it as fact. That's MY CHOICE.
Same goes for anything that I "know" about God. I don't have to have a book, I simply make a choice and for me personally, it is knowledge because I have accepted it as such.
No one can change that knowledge except me. If I so choose. And I don't have to answer to you or anyone else, unless of course you believe the scripture that says something about "giving an answer to every man..."

Do you know anything?

Can anyone really live their life to the fullest if they are in denial of any kind of truth that they are rejecting? (I mean any.)
