Eternity would surley be torture if you don't like it, that's why eternal death is an option, proof of God's mercy :)

There is no such thing as ceasing to exist. Every soul is eternal and never ceases to exist. How one spends their eternity is up to each soul, but there is no annihilation, nor literal lake of fire. The lake of fire is simply the subconscious mind's area of repression, the "id" ... Hell is a state of consciousness - remorse, self-condemnation, guilt and frustration.

You mean which would I prefer or which do I think is more realistic?
Well I think that the Annihilation (as you so flamboyantly put it) is more likely, but as far as my preference….
I’ve never completely made up my mind and probably never will as I’ve given it much thought. Sure I would like more than the 70 or 80 years I get here on earth, sure I’d like more time, but that is not to say I’ll get it just because I want it. I certainly don’t want eternity. That would be torture after a while.

I'm not sure what the hell you're asking and appearantly, no one else does either. But I see the jest of what you're pointing towards.
Lets look at all the "failed religions" over the time of man. How many failed religions you ask? I'd bet millions. We call the older religions of Norse, Zues, and all the others "myths" just as in 3,000 years they'll call christianity a "myth" so, the real question is, if in god time(according to YOUR bible) our lives are but a "whisp of smoke" how can you revolve your whisp of smoke around what you've been lead to believe in such a short time?

I'd prefer if there was an eternity....but I'd also prefer to win the lottery and have polygamous marriages to Sarah Silverman, Sarah Jessica Parker, Salma Hayek, and Tina Fey........my preference for an eternity does not make it exist.

Annihilation/Hell.
I will not serve the Christian/Muslim concept of God as it is an immoral, hateful, cruel, and unjust being.
My morals are far, FAR more important to me.
