Family Man

I'm not really interested in immortality. To listen to theists, heaven consists of either an idealized version of Earth that goes on forever, or some undefined state of bliss that seem to resemble drug trips. Personally, I find neither appealing.

Demigawd

Given the possibility of a true multiverse, and inability for humans to properly understand the concept infinite, there very well be some sort of conscious nextlife. But no one has ever drawn a complete picture of what that might entail.

Christian-Islamic-Judeo Fundies, Buddhists, Pagans, etc., have it all wrong. I mean, what substantial revelation has not come about due to a dream, substance-induced hallucination, or other miscellaneous euphoria?

Pyrrho

I certainly don't want to be immortal if it means being surrounded by all of the idiots who infest this planet. That is bad enough for one ordinary lifetime; it lasting forever would be pure hell.

Salmon of Doubt

It really depends. If everyone you love lives forever too, and you all stay young, then maybe. If you get extra superpowers, then definitely. But I'd still like to keep the option of being able to kill myself when I got REALLY bored. Just so I didn't end up like Wowbagger the Inifinitely Prolonged.

Paperstreet

Yes, as long as it was possible for me to CHOOSE death.

Family Man

For those of you choosing the second option, are you fairly new to disbelief or have you been a long time atheist. The reason I ask is that the longer I've been an atheist, the more comfortable I've become with my own mortality and the less of a need I have for extended life. Just curious.

I chose the second, and I am pretty new to atheism, but I agree that it would get boring, so if I could choose to end it when I wanted that would be good.
