We still remember figures of history centuries after they died, because they changed the world. That's the kind of immortality that is proven to exist. Not the kind where you die, and your spirit (which we can't prove exists) lives in the clouds with a god that we can't prove exists. Stop wasting time trying to become immortal in a way that has no impact on the world, and become immortal in a way that does.
That's a really good point.

...we should care now because now is all we have.
How would the guarantee of eternal life make us any less special in the moment?
Peddle your narcissism elsewhere. Do you really think you are the only religion on this planet that sells the idea that your label makes you special? I was born at night, just not last night.
I have absolutely NO desire to be forever anymore than I worry about having a name before I was born. The universe did fine before I was born and it will continue on after I die. I most certainly am important to me now, and important to those who know me now, but I am not so foolish as to think the universe can't exist without me.
