How would you know that? One can come to any belief through faith.
Lets you accept the truth…
Of Buddhism, for example

That's because you never had a family member attempt to traverse the globe pole to pole and fall off the edge ... never to be seen again.I've always wondered what difference it makes. Because I don't really care if the Earth is flat or round. Outside of proving "they LIED to us!", I don't see how it matters any.
Sorry, that sounds like confirmation bias. People have a tendency to believe what they want to believe. One reason that the sciences are so successful in solving problems is that they have found ways to deal with that tendency. The sciences are evidence based. Not feeling based. One has to be willing to put one's beliefs to the test. If one cannot think of a possible test to refute one's ideas one is not using the scientific method. One cannot even have evidence for one's beliefs if one is not willing to test them.

not using the scientific method.
I honestly don't believe that religion can either. And I'm a Love of God saying that.
science is not concerned about the afterlife
hence it cannot help you prepare for the afterlife

Why even think that there is an afterlife? It sounds like something that you merely wish was true.

It is very shallow to play make believe games. If your beliefs have some validity why can't you support them at all? If anything your sort of approach is an argument against religious beliefs.
our life is like a lightning flash in the sky
hence it is very shallow to think of this only

It's about having God as one's reality, NOW, where He is needed the most.
you are prepared if you accept there is an afterlife

Any afterlife beliefs are just that...a bunch of beliefs!
my comments are basic and simple, matter of fact
That does not make them true.
There is an "after" that does not mean that there is an "afterlife".
time will continue after you die hence there is an after
there is no evidence of annihilation

Sure there is. The evidence out there indicates that thought is a complex chemical reaction. No more complex chemical reactions means no more thought.
there is no reason to think there is annihilation
