In another 100,000 years, assuming humans are still here (or even if they are not), nothing of any of this will matter. It will not even be remembered. We, as a species, will have effect on the ecology, but no more so than dinosaurs or glaciers, albeit different.
And if I am right (which I am), do you really want to take the chance of throwing away this "gift" on delusions of an afterlife? Or do you think that you would be better served enjoying the one and only life that you will ever have?
(we are just probably 'brains-in-a-vat' anyway!)
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
