Eternal punishment is pointless.

And yet when then see this curiously ignorant deity ("might"? Wasn't he supposed to know everything?) worried that humans might live forever.

God wasn't worried about them living forever after they sinned, He was worried they would live forever in sin, having to grow more miserable day by day forever, they would be living in hell without the possibility of forgiveness. Hell on earth. God's plan was to redeem man so they could return to a relationship with Him.

Like I explained above, God did not want them to live forever in sin because they would grow more miserable each day. Every atheist that has talked about death on this forum has expressed they wouldn't want to live forever, ever wonder why, living in misery is something no one looks forward to.

Could you provide bible verses for this, GC? I have read the bible all the way through and don't remember having read that the reason that god didn't want humans to live forever was so they wouldn't be miserable.

I wouldn't mind living forever if my loved ones lived with me but it isn't something important to me either. It doesn't frighten me that I will just end when I die.
