That's a strange question isn't it?
Bear in mind that the ever lasting alternative wouldn't in fact technically exist so it's not something that could happen to you personally. Which is kind of interesting in a not quite able to grasp it way imo.

Nothing. The concept of eternal life is a horrible fate I would not wish on any sentient being.

And yet they're always be something you haven't seen or done. Maybe eternal life with the option of suicide.Originally Posted by Thanatos

That's not eternal life then, that is "finite life that ends with suicide sooner or later".

Re: So what appeals to you about the prospect of ever lasting life? *holds a microphone under your nose*
it might never end with suicide though.
I'll say now I find the prospect of eternal life with my girlfriend incredibely appealing, but then again in a couple of quadrillion years how will I feel?
EDIT:that, a gazillion quintillion years and I'm still 0% of the way through my life? Horrible.

Out of curiosity, why exactly?
Re: So what appeals to you about the prospect of ever lasting life? *holds a microphone under your nose*
lets see how you feel in 329 quadrillion years.

Is God eternally immortal?

Do you mean being immortal or residing in an afterlife?

It would have to the afterlife because universe itself is finite. Though you get a few billion years out of it if you could be physically destroyed. Much of that you may spend floating around in starless empty space though.

In that case, the prospect of living in bliss speaks volumes to me. No worrying or stressbuilding factors!

The question OP asks is deliberately contridictory. It is stated that it is "ever lasting" but turn around and say it 'technically doesn't exist'. I don't understand the point the OP is trying to make.

The OP isn't making a point. It's asking a hypothetical question.
One thing is for certain: the more profoundly baffled you have been in your life, the more open your mind becomes to new ideas.

You speak on behalf of "people"? Besides I was asking a question not making a point.

This topic is poorly thought out at best, like Turbo said it doesn't even make sense. If by everlasting life you simply mean living on earth forever that is something entirely different than everlasting life meaning the soul goes on to live with God or something like that. You really need to be more specific and thoughtful if you want any good answers.

I would definitely love to live for 10 million years or more. Sure it would suck to see those you care for die off, but the wonders the Universe has to offer is more than worth it.
