What Is The Point Of Eternal Life?
66 Answers
I just don't get this idea of eternal life. What is the 'POINT' of having eternal life?
Whether its living forever on a paradise Earth (JW doctrine), living forever in heaven (Christian doctrine), reincarnating endlessly (Eastern religious doctrine) or whatever.
Life is precious because it is finite, yes?
If it went on forever then it wouldn't have any value.
A football game only has 'meaning' because it has a start time and a finish time. If it went on ad infinitum it would be totally senseless.
Why is life any different? Leave aside Dawkins v religionists etc.
Can someone tell me, why life would be any different if we were to live eternally?
Just what would be the POINT???
What the hell would you DO for all eternity for one?

I can agree with that Baldric. For some of these so-called atheists they certainly are just as obsessive as those who proclaim the word of their God and religion constantly.
All very confusing. Why can't the atheists just shut up and let those with their beliefs get on with it.
