Christian responsibility to Defend God
Paco Dennis said:
This really shouldn't be a debate about what is "real" or not. No one knows. No one has ample evidence of what happens after we die. It is all anecdotal. So there is lies the interest. It is in the wide variety of what others imagine reincarnation "might" be like. It is fiction, and fiction is filled with our experiences and imagination. I would prefer to enjoy others own imagination of what it might be like. That is where the interest is.
My Response:
Well, unfortunately, you are entirely missing the crucial point and employing a false premise.
You see, there are many things that are unknowable from a human standpoint which are regularly being hypothetically debated from both a moral, and scientific and perspective.
In short, the reality or non-reality of any proposed idea, is considered totally irrelevant to its potential or inherent moral values.
Now, from a Biblical perspective, Satan, regularly uses fiction or lies, in order to malign the creator's personality. For example, he might cunningly portray the creator as capable of roasting people alive forever in order to portray him as being criminally insane. Should we remain silent as that glaring defamation is being decimated because someone tells us that we can never know for sure? Would we remain silent if one of our parents were accused of horrendous immorality, based on that same suggestion that, well we can never know?
Or remain silent as the Devils might portrays God as a liar by describing humans are inherently deathless or immortal in order to reinforce the first lie that if humans sin they don't really die but become gods instead. Or say nothing as he attempts to prove that humans only serve God because of selfishness and would otherwise curse God to his face, as he did with Job.
You see, we are told that all such defamatory accusations against our Heavenly Father demand a response. A sanctification of God's reputation or name, as the Lord's Prayer mentions.
In short, to expect, or to demand silence from those who care about God's reputation in the face of such Satanic, character assassination is to demand a betrayal or a cooperation with Satan. So not knowing the certainty of any issue being proposed is totally irrelevant to the damage that such a proposition can inflict. In short, you are unintentionally demanding a silence that is biblically condemned as a sin.
The clergy are supposed to teach such a Christian responsibility to their flocks but fail to do so and in that way encourage them right to silently cooperate with such Satanic attacks. However, those who do understand the seriousness involved, and care about the responsibility of sanctifying God's name, will not whether others disagree for whatever reason they choose to or not. In short, it is a Christian responsibility to respond to the defamation of our heavenly father's personality as it is a Christian responsibility to speak about all the things we are commanded to tell others about.

Major premise: Unknowable concepts should never be debated or contradicted.
Minor premise: This concept is unknowable
False conclusion: This concept should never be debated or contradicted.

Genesis 3:4-5
But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
2 Corinthians 2:11
So that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
