If you're living a reasonably comfy life (which having time to log onto a computer and chat about Atheism usually implies), and you don't have to worry about death for a while, there's very little Christianity has to offer.

As we near death, and the threat of ceasing to exist starts to loom, that desire for something more will likely kick in a bit.

How old are you? I'm 72, and I find it has been the opposite with me. As I grow older, I am more reconciled to the idea that the end will come. Of course I am in fairly good health, but I think if it takes a turn for the worse I will want my release from life.
