No - I think the whole idea is silly
Just think about the concept of eternity - that means forever and ever and ever and ever. That means a 1,000 years becomes 10,000 years, then onto 100,000 years, 1,000,000 years, billions of years and trillions of year - never ending.
Just what are you going to do with all that time? Will God be entertaining us forever and ever and ever? Will we be robots, doing the same thing every day, or will it be like Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog Day? The same wonderful day repeated over and over?
What about Hell? You end up there forever, burning and burning, but you never die, so what's the point? It's not like you're going to be destroyed if you have an immortal soul. If I was to be tortured and tortured, and somehow the pain would still be fresh and frightening day after day, and that a loving god would allow that to so many countless souls seems really really sadistic and unimaginable cruel.
Here's a thought - if I live to be 70 years old, that would be but just a flash in the history time, and for that I would be punished forever and ever for not believing?
Just like someone else here said - it's common sense.
We all had a beginning when we were born - so we must all have an end as well. If the idea of living forever helps you get over the fact that you will die, then go for it. But it really comes off as desperate.
The only way you can live forever is to have children, and then a part of you is with them and then their children and so forth and so on.

Darn, my answer is at the bottom of the page which means that very few people will ever read it...
Yes, I believe in God.
Imagine if you can, what it will be like after you cease to exist. Imagine what it was like before you existed.
If you spend sometime with these questions then you might find that even though you can explain everything...there is a greater work here. And common sense tells us that where there is greater work...there must also be a great worker (e.g. God).

According to Christianity, I am a sinner and I'm going to hell. My only way out of eternal damnation is to repent for my sins and accept Jesus into my life as my personal lord and savior.
According to Evolution, I'm doing pretty damn good for a monkey.
I believe that science and religion don't oppose each other; they are simply two different perspectives on the universe. When you try and apply science to religion or religion to science, things start to get skewed. When you apply both to your life, you gain a better understanding of life.
Religion gives us hope for something better. Science gives us the ability to achieve something better. They serve as checks and balances for each other. People get so caught up trying to find holes in one or the other that I think they often forget they can complement each other quite nicely.
I've decided to believe in the god of the highly evolved bi-pedal ape. It allows me to comprehend the concept of a higher power and the evolution of our species. Besides, this is just another perspective. I'm just trying to gain a balanced view of everything around me so that I can make the most of my life.

Yes He has unlimited beautiful names Glorifying His form qualities and pass times, such as Krishna (His original name meaning all Attractive) and Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama. One God many names. Krishna says in the Gita (song of God) "whenever theire is a decline in religious principals and the truth appears to be lost I appear again and again or send my representative to reestablish the truth." That is why ther is all this fighting on religion because they don't understand that much has been misconstrued and changed in their scriptures by evil men but they keep thinking it's all truth. If one wants pure transcendental knowledge it must be taken in an unbroken,disciplic succession. and given by a saint not some mundane scholar. The Vedic literature given by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada Comes in an unbroken chain of disciples all the way from the Appearance of Lord Krishna 5,000 years ago for details go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com for universal truths and Vedic understanding

You have received more answers to your question than I have seen all evening.
Yes, I believe in God. I believe in His power and strength and in His Word. Have you ever read the book of James in the Holy Bible? Check out this verse:

Yes, I believe in God because everytime I pray and ask his holy spirit to help me through the day, I feel a like a heavy load was removed from my shoulder.

The One True God, definitely yes.
This belief makes me reasonably realize that God is One, Religion is One and Mankind is One. And based on this belief we can establish love, unity, peace in the world.
Besides this clear lesson from the Messengers of God, there are no other perfect lessons for world unity.
