We can't really know anything because at any time our eyes may be playing tricks on us, our wife may be lying to us, or maybe what we thought happened only occured in a dream.
So our knowledge of anything is based on faith and trust. So next time NotForSale asks how do you know there is an afterlife. Politely ask him how he knows his wife hasn't cheated on him. His reasons for believing his wife hasn't cheated on him are pretty similar to your reasons for believing in an afterlife i assure you  |
Others have cleared the air on this post, jfrog, but I will say this; you can prove your wife is cheating on you, but you can't prove the Afterlife. Whether your wife is ever found guilty might be one thing, but we have proven today with DNA testing, we can set free the falsely condemned, and put the real criminal behind bars, and that includes sexual crimes.
The Afterlife, though, there is no way to confirm it's real unless we yield to Spectral Evidence, which Courts don't use because of what happened in the Salem Witch Trials. And, adultery has been around since the beginning and is found clearly in the Bible (New and Old Testaments), and we have observed the devastating consequences of adultery in our own lifetime.
The Afterlife and Adultery; not even close in comparison.
