What facts do you base your acceptance of their word as truth?

We’re both speculating.


I never said I accepted them as truth. I only asked you how you know they’re lying.

Based on what logic?

The point of all my questions is to draw attention to the absurdity of people claiming to know for a fact that nothing happens after death. Nobody knows. We can’t know until we die and, from my experience, stay dead. Maybe nothing happens. But maybe something does. Whatever we think happens after we die is based on nothing but pure faith. Christians have faith in what they think happens. So do Muslims, Jews, and all other religions. But just as all these religions have faith in what happens after death, the same is true for atheists and agnostics as well. So yes, even people who do not believe on God still have to put faith into something.

So the only true answer for anyone trying to answer OP’s question is to say they don’t know what happens after death. But they have faith that “x” will happen.

Well, you saw nothing, they saw something. It’s an either or, not a both can be right type of situation. Unless you believe that each persons afterlife is tired to their own belief system.

What logic is an afterlife based on? Human desire for a greater understanding to the ultimate unknown. It’s devoid of logic.

Everything you said is true except the part about agnostics. Agnostics by definition say they don't know what happens. There is no faith involved in that.
