I actually like the idea of reincarnation better. I'd rather live a lot of different lives, then exist as the same entity forever.

No, I would not want my consciousness to be immortal. Horrid notion.

Oh lord no. Don't get me wrong, I like myself, but an eternity? Fuck that.

If it's just peace and eternal bliss and nothing else, what's the difference to being dead?

Little rik, what you're describing is not reincarnation, but a kind of eternal limbo. A world where nothing is required is a world without purpose. Think about it. I could do anything, but have no reason to do anything. I could go anywhere but have no reason to be anywhere. Just exist. How could I find such an existence peaceful?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Believers sure know how to ignite a "philosophical orgy".
