Why do we keep ARGUING about what happens after death when no one can prove their point or disprove other's?

I wouldn't necessarily call it arguing...more like debating!To think that anything happens after death, other than we rot, like most things, proves to be very intriquing to some people, and discussing with others their opinions and ideas can be interesting.

That's the very nature of belief and non-belief, always competing. Even within the individual, belief and non-belief face each other.

Its not the "reality" that would lay in some sort of objective "truth", as it would suffer from the defects of all so called objective truths, but it is the process of mind, of thinking, of constructing up rational structures to support the idea, as with anything worth thinking upon-this is a philosophy thread after all. Animals don't think such things, immediate minded men do not either, only thinking men do.
