If I was like the Doctor, and able to travel throughout different time periods in history or different places in the universe, and also travel inside fictional worlds and explore, then yes, I would want to be immortal. What I would say is that for a safety measure, if I became bored with it all, I would want also to be able to erase my own memories and thus start everything over with the same sense of wonder as the first time. That way I would never regret it, or at least not know I was regretting it. But only under ALL of those conditions. Otherwise it would be a curse. Even an eternal afterlife, no matter how blissful, would have to suck eventually.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
