That concept seems to me to be far more frightening. People who believe in heaven and hell already accept the idea that they will exist for eternity, so what's the difference? Perhaps one of the most uneasy concepts of the thought of eternal life, is eternal boredom. I have solved this problem for myself anyways. I can simply remove parts of my experiences from memory, then experience life over and over again with a degree of naivitee and mystery. Obviously I would have to do that in a way that doesn't affect my stream of conciousness as I perceive it. Who knows what one can think of with enough time?
