Would you abandon god for eternal youth and life?

[FreyaRed]

Why we have to die and lose everything we got over lifespan. Death makes entire existence pointless. Believing in further living in progeny is a swindle. Why want universe we die, why want god that we die if gods exist seemingly eternally. Fear of competition?

Would you exchange your codex, faith, believe and moral for gift of living forever?
Isn't living eternally, collecting knowledge, enjoying life in all possible shapes and nuances more noble goal than believing in afterlife like heaven, hell or being deleted with reincarnation? Isn't our goal to conquer death and omitting limitations set by gods? No matter if we do while merging with AI or improve our protein bodies for never ending rejuvenation.

Abandon God for eternal life and youth? That's a bit of a contradiction, if you ask me.

"Why we have to die and lose everything we got over lifespan." We don't "lose everything". That would imply that we're supposed to take these things and people with us when we die, but they are either, through divine injustice or negligence, lost or taken from us. That's not how it works.

"Death makes entire existence pointless." On the contrary, I think death provides life with its greatest and most profound meaning. Your life is an invitation to your funeral. Better to have your death mourned by those whose lives you touched with love, fondness, and joy than to simply pass on into eternity and then it just be... Tuesday, I guess? It's like what Gandalf says in Lord of the Rings, that it is not given for us to decide the time in which we live, but rather decide what we do with the time that is given to us (paraphrasing, of course).

"Believing in further living in progeny is a swindle." Says who and what do THEY know?

"Why want universe we die, why want god that we die if gods exist seemingly eternally. Fear of competition?" What?

if god exists... then evil exists too

I would not want any part of that evil, so...

my version of heaven would be my choice, which is... where my people would be

now if they all went to hell... oh well, I guess I'm doomed too

Lol, you live TO die - dumbass. It;s what mortality is, and life is all about.

There is no such thing as "living forever" in flesh. Many before have tried it, and many after will too. It's a waste and fool's errand.

Live your life to have a meaningful death, Not a worthless life, with nothing after it.

Never I’ll live again in heaven instantly and be pain-free and extremely happy I’m faithful to God
