Do you find the idea of eternal life appealing?

Think hard about this one..

I do find it appealing but there are too many uncertain factors. When do you stop being old? How could we continue to breed children if there was eternal life on earth?

Appealing yes, but I'd rather not fuck with the "circle of life"

OK, include the option of an eternal afterlife too.

Would you want to live an eternal afterlife?

The point of this question is really do you think continual, eternal existence would be a good thing or a bad thing, and why?

Does that include invincibility? I'd go for that.

Elected representatives would think awfully hard before fucking me over.

Atheist, anti-theist

I do not believe in an afterlife.

I was just wondering what other people thought about the thought of an ETERNAL existence. I mean, a few thousand years would be the shit, I'd do everything, but think about it, how about 10,000 years.. 100,000 years... a million years, 10 million years... a BILLION years! Dude, Eternity is a really long time... I hear a lot of believers talk that one key aspect of their religion up like it's one of the greatest gifts you could ever possibly recieve, but if you've experienced, litterally, every single thing existence has to offer... what's next? What happens after that? If you're living billions of years, trillions of years... you would experience every single thing there is to experience possible, you'd have every conversation ever thought of with every single person in existence, you'd hear every song ever created, you'd see every single animal that ever lived since your birth... everything.

Is that appealing?

Personally... I don't think it is. That would make existence itself kind of pointless, wouldn't it? Wouldn't you get tired of simply existing at some point?

As long as I could be forever young... I could deal with it. Hell, if I could be stoned 24/7 for eternity, wouldn't even notice it. bongsmilie

I'd want to be a teacher, or a professor. Dealing with fresh minds and fresh perspectives every year would be awesome.

If you stop learning, you might as well already be dead. Learning is a life long process(at least ought to be!). I could imagine living 100 lifetimes and still being ignorant of so much....

Kind of makes me sad.

In 1970, I went to a hypnotist at the Atlanta Psychiatric Clinic. He did what they called a "transgresion" or he transgressed me back to my mother's womb, inside. Under hypnosis, I told him what I felt inside my mother's belly.
THEN, he told me to go back to BEFORE I was in my mother's womb, and I told him what I was experiencing then. I then told him I was a MONK in a monastary, re-copying books all day.

I've read way over a dozen books on reincarnation, that we do live in different worlds, forever, and always have.

It is a fasicating subject and the more you study it and research it, the more you will accept it.

If you are interested, google Bridey Murphy, Reincarnation, to get started.

My parents did the same thing, Roseman! Yea, they had a wonderful experience, they saw they were together in their previous life. Only their genders were reversed, and they lived in Europe.

Yea, good stuff.

Then one day my father told me he was just agreeing with my mom and he didn't see jack shit. We shared a good laugh about it.

Well, I've already lived several afterlife's....and the next always seem to be better than the one before, I also see a life of Longevity, unless some freak accident happens :roll:, I feel sorry for the young Grasshoppers, wait, I mean Caterpillars, but hey....They'll be Alright when they get Better

Didn't know if this was suppose to be serious.....So here's my other answer. No, I wouldn't, Vampires don't seem to like it neither..:peace:

Yes, only because there is so much that I could read, and learn that I would need multiple lifetimes to do it.

And if I was immortal, then I could do crazy stuff like go live in China, or the Middle East, or Eastern Europe with out having to worry about my other goals in life.

I could see what happens with the Earth and with technology. I don't think living for eternity would be boring.
