I agree 100% that we rot when we die, and haven't seen logic to explain otherwise

There is no disagreement. Our bodies die, then they rot. If we are discussing whether people are ignorant to that fact, then say so, and it's an entirely different argument.
And if we're going to just make assumptions about what "could" transpire outside of a physical realm, then we're just making assumptions. Which is why I'm not scared of being anally raped by a sadistically sharp stinging caterpillar for all of eternity. Because it has no basis. And if we lend credibility to assumptions based on the amount of people that believe unsupported things, then we may as well be afraid of all sorts of a lot more than this.

So this whole thing is a theoretical assumption about what happens metaphysically after you die, that also doesn't prove anything? Oh. Now I get it. We're just basing all this fear on what people assume, based on crap they've been brought up to believe.
Now it's all coming together.
Yep. Perfect reason to fear death. You grew up wondering if you would end up being tortured by a sharp stinging caterpillar after you die.
I don't see how my original comment isn't crystal clear without having to have typed all this. Maybe I'm giving people too much credit.
