So, I would like to discuss this with my fellow atheists who may also be interested in the idea of living as long as they can!
Anyone else have an interest in this?

Well there's good news around the corner. Scientists are currently working on extending the human lifespan. Apparently, it's possible (with the available knowledge) we could extend our lifespan to 600 years if we wanted.
I know a few experiments have been done, one had a nasty side effect while the other was more promising. They've managed to double the lifespan of a typical earth worm.
I can't remember the experiments but one other technique apparently works but greatly increased the risk of cancer. It somehow affected the immune system.
Give it a few more years and we may be able to reverse the ageing process. A few more decades with the advancement of science and we may become in a sense........immortal.
You never know, we may find an ancient alien station with the knowledge to unlock immortality.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
