Again, I'm not really sure why it matters unless you are a person who believes in something, actively pressures others to believe in the same thing and/or acts for/against anything based on those beliefs, and tells others to "prove them wrong" first.
I'm not saying that the above is OK. What I'm saying is that keeping an open mind about pretty much any idea of afterlife that hasn't been disproved is not necessarily stupid.
I'll use myself as an example. I don't have any concrete beliefs about afterlife, but through my own thought experiments, have determined that they idea of consciousness transcending dimensions is not necessarily out of the realm of possibility. That is something that could be included under the title of "afterlife". And so I don't CLOSE my mind to that idea. But then someone earlier mentioned the idea of time perception becoming slower and slower as you drift into death to the point that it could seem infinite to the person passing away. That seems really interesting to me and not out of the realm of possibility, so I'll probably include it in my own personal ideas about afterlife from now on.
To me, you seem to have closed your mind to any ideas of afterlife because it hasn't been proven. To me, that's just as close-minded as the reverse.
