And you could say "But I can't feel it" and I could say "it's a ghost" etc. The bottom line is you can't disprove there is a giant blue elephant in your living room and if I were manipulative and you were easily swayed, I could get you to tip-toe when it's "sleeping" and not make noise for fear you would wake it, etc. This is the scary part about things that are not provable. We need to take care that we do not allow people to manipulate us with things that are not provable just because they may be in a position of authority or a position to sway us.
I agree, you can certainly answer whatever you want and I won't say you can't say it.

The afterlife is provable so there is nothing scary about it. There are certainly questions regarding the details but there is just as much "proof" for the afterlife as there is for the law of gravity.
I agree, we do need to take care that we do not allow people to manipulate us. Thats why we must study things for ourselves, pray to God for ourselves, come to our own conclusions, not just take someone's word for it, no matter what their position or title, etc.
And you have fun with that giant blue elephant. Post a picture.
