It's pretty funny how the carrot which is supposed to lure us all into religion is turned down by most people in this poll. That's gotta smart.
What's left? Threats, I suppose. It's not quite as publicly acceptable to just threaten adults these days, so the suspicious looking carrot is all they have left.
Oh. Rantings about morality and cosmic justice also appear.

Are you kidding me?! I would LOVE to be immortal. So many places to explore, so many things to do, unlimited fried chicken without risk of heart diseases, unlimited time playing football without injury. Jesus H Christ who would turn down such an offer?! Absolutely brilliant.

Nope as I said in You Can Keep Heaven an immortal life no matter what state it is could only be torture life needs resolution

I make the best of it, but Jesus Christ, one innings is enough for me.
I'd only consider it if I was allowed to dictate all the rules, and was able to terminate myself when I wanted to, or be able to erase my own memory entirely periodically.
What if we're all stuck in groundhog day?
What if a space/time distortion keeps looping and we've been doing this infinitely?
The BB is just the exact moment the glitch occurs and it starts all over again.

Absolutely. It could be groundhog five-minutes for all we know, with the rest as planted memories.

So Rik...
Let's say scientists could remove your brain, and you (your brain) would live just as long as you would normally, but for the rest of your life they just connect things up so that your brain feels you are "happy" all the time. It gets short circuited to avoid anything which might ever upset it.
Would you do it, or continue with your life as it is?
