Yeah, I think so. I am a very happy and content person so I can't imagine I'll be ready to stop living when I'm 80.
It would be nice, if heaven gave you an option to go to oblivion after 100,000 years or so, if you wanted it tho. I don't know if heaven would be interesting after a few dozen centuries...

No, I don't think so. Honestly, I can't imagine living for eternity. But at the same time, eternal life is in a different incomprehensible realm, so...That's kind of a tough question now that I think about it. Dang, you have really concentrating now. I guess my answer is: I don't know. But what would be the point? It's just so incomprehensible to me - eternal life - that I can't even begin to wrap my mind around what I would choose. But it's a good question.

Not so sure about that...
I find the idea interesting at first, but eternal life would become problematic if life extended beyond the earth's lifespan and we were trapped in an extremely uncomfortable situation.
If the idea also includes being able to kill yourself whenever you want, than I'm all over the idea.

Yes. Eternal life doesn't mean you can't be reborn to experience life all over again. I think this is what Jesus meant when he said he was around before Abraham was even born. How is that possible if not through reincarnation?

I think humans are built so that that they would take any chance, however remote, at continued survival in some shape or form. This is, unfortunately, the lure of many religions.
Why are we built this way? Well, it makes sense in a world of natural selection: any species not dead set on survival is doomed from the start.

Sure. I would take it with god. I just don't think it exist. I am not Happy so to speak about dying, but unlike you, I have come to the realization that it happens. I will die someday. Of course, I will be dead so it really doesn't matter. I won't know that I'm dead. I think it would be niffy spiffy if it existed, I just don't feel all evidence points to that.

LOL! Love the new avatar man!!!
Nope - you can keep eternal life to yourself. I imagine eternal life as making the one Im living now seem less....livable. Less enjoyable. Nope - I want only this life.

No. It's unimagineable. Perfection at every turn? Eternal life? Yuck!

That's a pretty speculative question. If I can have a longer life as a living, sane, and healthy person, I'll take it anytime. "Living" as a spirit, or undead creature, or as part of a universal energy whatever, does not appeal to me very much.

If there was a library with every book I'd care to read, and every instrument, and sex, and Guinness, and Bombay Sapphire and limes and tonic, and coffee, brownies, fresh fruit, chicken molé, and my family and friends*, then sure! bring it on!
oh, and I'd like it to look like Ireland, please.
