That's interesting about the treatments! That's extremely counter productive huh. Put off that fucking paradise as long as possible!

Life expectancy... I would hazard a guess that this has something to do with the current favouritism in many societies towards religion and the stress of not being part of that system for an atheist. But I don't know.

Only if my immortality comes as a result of me taking my rightful place as Emperor of Humankind, in order to better facilitate my eternal war of conquest against the universe.

Makes sense to me Rob. If you believe in hell, maybe that's where you'll end up?

Lol, well yes! If they suspected that's where they were going, then it would make sense that they want to put it off.

Jesus sees... everything? Like, even the time I... never mind.

No.

The idiot theists have no clue what it would mean for a mind to exist for longer than 1,000 years, or what a 'mind' is.

I'd like to live as long as I want. I doubt that would be forever, but it might be a very long time. Or maybe not.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Long time no see, Rikkyroo.  Glad to see you haven't ceased consciousness yet.  That will be a sad day on your death bed.  There you'll be expecting to be hovering or whizzing around the room and other dimensions with your subjectivity when instead the damned screen goes blank.  Or maybe some text will appear that says "Game Over".  Oh well enjoy the illusion while your old noggin is able to keep the consciousness fires burning.  Who knows maybe all those neurons and organs really are just for show and we're real just astral bodies with a strange affinity for waking up in the same boring physical body each morning.  You could be right.
