Bottom line is... Without 'faith' there is no 'hope' -

Why does 'life' have to be infinite to have meaning?


Not to all evidently, but for some of us, it does...


That is what I never understood.

Have you fully considered the concept of eternity? I would become
agonizingly bored after having the same thoughts and experiences for the
10^999th time. At some point it becomes torture no matter how many
distant relatives I'm surrounded by. (perhaps hastened by some of them)

Everlasting life seems designed to appeal to a child-like fear of death.

I was fine not existing before birth and will be fine not existing after
death except in others memories. It's satisfying just trying to make this life meaningful.

Imagine an eternity in heaven filled with right wing Christian
fundamentalists. Less fun than a holiday in Afghanistan.
