Living till infinity would mean any memory we make, any person we love or anything we do would be inconsequential and meaningless because of how infinitesimally small and insignificant each moment of life would be.

There's a lot of wisdom in this post. The period at the end of the sentence serves a big role in giving the sentence meaning.

RE: Question for the anti's.......?
The question is biased and unrelated to Christianity vs. 'anti's'
It is an argument putting yourself in the Christians foolish feelings of eternity.

I could just as easily state, hey religos, how do you feel about science finally discovering the answer to origins, would you like it? How can they answer yes or no!

If you wish to ask a fanciful question about Tinkerbell fairy dust giving you wings to fly around the rose garden as a tiny insect forever, I suspect you should first ask who in the hell would believe this crap (pretty sure the No's have it).

I cannot argue FOR the Christianity mythology. But if science is able to upload our internal minds to a supercomputer one day, I suppose yeah that would be good. But your ridiculous similarity idea with religion (as stated: Q for anti's) the BEST answer would be > That's ridiculous religious nonsense.

MY dreamlike state of ever lasting life would be FAR different to ANY religious misguided concept based on feelings!

I wouldn't mind eternal youth. Bring me back down to about 21 years old. As long as there's an out at some point, I think it'd be cool.

But I also wouldn't mind having a trillion dollars.

If immortality does not preclude the option of suicide, I'd like it. But there are problems even then. If we all get immortality, it's going to get crowded and our children will lose some basic things we have. If you are contemplating immortality in heaven, then I have a hard time imagining it as anything other than infinite boredom or infinite know towing and infinite boredom. Reincarnation sounds better provided one could choose real permanent death if endless death and rebirth became too repetitive.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Why would I wish to live forever? Everything dies and I see no reason for being exempt from it.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

I want to see what happens.  When shit stops happening or becomes intolerable then I'd end it.

Indeed, part of internal peace for me is accepting my place in life. Every atom in my body heavier than lithium came from the detritus of an exploding star, filtered through the food I have consumed. The only immortality that has meaning is to go on feeding life, such as it might arise, by surrendering those atoms back into the cycle.

The organization of atoms that the world thinks of as me is simply a passing phase, and subject ot every law to which every other atom is subject. I am not special.
