No need. I'd probably be a large corporate ruler until then.

I find the idea of immortality immensely scary, but I also understand people who are afraid of the void. I've seen old, tired people of about 80-100 years of age welcoming death, so I don't see what immortality would hold for us.

Welcome to AF Mehmet, good of you to finally introduce yourself Smile
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Welcome to the forum. It's nice to have someone who is just confused, but would like an afterlife.

Thanks for the intro. I understand the fear of the void. I just think that if we die and there is a void, at least we won't have fear, as our brains generate fear, and our brains will be beginning to rot by then. I think it would be awful to have our consciousness live on and have awareness that we are no longer apart of the living world. That would be immensely depressing.

I welcome the void.

But I can say that I'm not anti-religion.
And I'd like for a God and an afterlife to exist, what kind of an afterlife it may be.
I must say that I'm really afraid of the idea of the void, meaning, non-existence.

Welcome. Smile

But seriously, what's there to be afraid about the void?
I think that God and an afterlife is a more frightening thought than the void because the void can't even do anything. Tongue

And that's what it comes down to. Fear.
