Do you believe in the afterlife? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Peaches Personal experiences are not valid evidence of anything really. If I had told you that I died, went to the afterlife and it was nothing but candy and chocolate rivers, would you be inclined to believe me? Why not? Reading many near-death experiences myself, I've noticed one inconsistency that spans across all of the other stories, that they all experience something different at some point in their story. This tells me that either everyone has a different after-life, they experienced something that was interpreted by them as an after-life, or they are just full of it. We as humans have a long standing history of making things up for attention. There have also been theories regarding the chemical DMT that is released in your brain shortly before you die that could result in otherworldy experiences. We know for a fact that DMT is a powerful hallucinogen. One can believe in an afterlife but no one can definitely say that there is or isn't one, especially since there are far more rational explanations for these rare events. Until we can rule out all other possibilities, it's just an unknown. Personally, I don't believe in an after-life because there is just no valid evidence for such a belief.

@TheJudgerNautSquared Well I'd think it's normal for them all to be "different." I'll never believe we are born just to die. I like to think this earth is some kind of metamorphosis we go through, 🦋kind of like the butterfly and 🐛Caterpillar.
