A jab? I said "sadly" because I feel sorry for the people who believes in it. Education should always be based on facts.

Your comment about santa claus etc was clearly a 'jab' at them.

And what facts can you provide me of heaven's existence or non-existence, or of the after-life in general? Your original argument in this thread is not based on 'facts' either, it is purely speculative, with a speculative situation and a speculative outcome. There are no facts in this thread.

Bolded: No, it was an example of how dangerous it can be to teach stories as facts. Now we have wars based on religious matter, for instance.

Underlined: Russell's teapot.

"Russell's teapot"? Really? Hilarious. 

Belief and understanding of the afterlife is not something based in facts or empirical evidence or, I accept this.

You however, place value in 'facts' i.e. empirical evidence, so the burden is on you to produce facts in this argument to support your belief. The fact is, both of our claims are unfalsifiable, but you are the one that places value in empirical evidence, and you are the one that must therefore produce 'facts' for your own argument, by your very own claim, to be valid. 

But you cannot, so you defer to a rather ridiculous philosophical concept to make your lack of an argument seem acceptable.
