For Those Who Believe In Life After Death . . . .

What do you see yourselves doing on your millionth birthday ?
Bearing in mind that you will have no corporeal body, all the pleasures of this world such as food, drink, conversation, singing hymns, will not exist. So how will you celebrate being 1,000,000 ?

Birdie,
Another excellent and well crafted response.
Certainly got me thinking if I believed in an afterlife. What quality would I have? My existence is so diluted It would be akin to a duck swimming round and round in a pond. A duck, however, doesn't have a concept of boredom so would I actually mind?
I would literally be left with the realisation that I am existing merely because it is something to do!

"how can it be said that 'you' exist in the afterlife when all semblance of your humanity has been neutered?"
Who is to say that existence is not viable unless you are human ? Surely the idea is that humanity is related to your present existence and you leave that behind.
Non-existence need not be the default condition, and more than nothing the default universe (for want of a better term).
