Having faith to believe something is a choice. Some will say they know there's an afterlife because of some experience they've had and don't have to have faith - they just feel they know it is true. I haven't had an experience that makes me think I know after life exists.
Even those that have had experiences of near death or astral stuff or talking to dead people can't know for sure, I'd think, since they never really died. Near death is not death. However, Steve, is one that says he's sure the afterlife is there because of some experieces he's had and there are many like that.
I kind of want to have some experiences like that to know what it will be like after I die. It kind of makes sense to me to investigate and I think the investigation will also make my life fuller now.
