I am a christian and I dont want to live forever in heaven!!!
I want to goto heaven for maybe 20-100 years and just die forever not to exist, I dont want everlasting life.
These pastors and my own mother tell me i Will burn in hell for eternity for not having a mind of my own.
I just dont want to live forever.
I dont want to goto hell, but i dont want everlasting life either!!
Why would God force me to stay in heaven for eternality if i dont want to? Why cant i just die in peace?

You should tell your mother and the pastors that indeed you do have a mind of your own - as your very question proves. Question everthing - it is the only way to the truth (and this applies in all aspects of life).
With regards to an everlasting life - sounds pretty horrible to me to - but despite what the Bible or the church may say, I believe that heaven is a metaphorical place, so fear not.
Happy truth seeking

There is no heaven. There is no hell. So you can RIP about going to eiither one.
Heaven and hell are states of mind. The old stories were teaching stories, but the wisdom to understand them was lost.
I'm with you. I wouldn't want to sit around for an eternity with a smile on my face either.

God has a happy helmet he puts on people like you. If you get bored with eternity, he straps it on an turns up the volts. That stimulates your soul's happy circuits. It forces you to be happy for eternity. So, don't worry. You *will* be happy.

something is fishy here.
to entertain such ideas of a 'short-term heaven' indicates that you would not be particularly fazed by attitude-stances taken by literalists.
you know better
I'm searcihing for your motivation, but maybe it's too late at night to think this way
"peace-out"

It's not eternal life that matters it's gaining love that matters.If God loves me i don't care for the rest.

Calm down. Relax. You can choose to think: there is NOTHING past death. Nothingness. Some people really think that. It's amatter of choise what you think abou it. There is no proof.
Does this help?

I think the first 1,000,000,000,000 years would beok.
The next 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 could get dull.
After that I would go into a bit of a decline.

Maybe dying in peace is what it is all about..........
Anyone who tells you that you will burn in hell has a lot of explaining to do.
God bless you
