Oh I definitely do lol.

Not at the moment though Big Grin Since my assessment I'm actually glad to wake up in the morning Big Grin Less self-disappointment going on now!

I wish there were a good God so it may one day come out of the shadows and actually fix the world.

I don't wanna live forever. But I sometimes wish I could live for, say, a few thousand years maybe. Or maybe a few hundred. I'm sure I'd get bored eventually.

Now a real heaven to go to, that was really heavenly? I'd want that forever, of course.

Not some talking to God crap though lol. That isn't heavenly.

And I'd 100% plug into the experience machine. But I'd want everyone else to plug in too.

Well, because I don’t want to ever cease to exist.  That notion cripples me. I don’t want to have a ‘last time’ that I’ll ever see my parents, or my husband, or my babies. I’d much rather believe they we’ll all be with each other forever in a loving, safe place after death.  I know I’m basically alone in this sentiment here at AF, lol.  I’m not at all ashamed to admit it though.

You're not alone. I'd want that too. I can't see why anyone wouldn't.

I definitely don't fear death though (there's literally nothing to fear). I'd just prefer it if awesomeness went on forever after death instead of absolutely nothing lol.
