[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] Yeah, the idea of an afterlife never really appealed to me and that whole thing about the 40 virgins is just ridiculously juvenile. I mean, assuming for a second the consciousness can exist past the death of a body (which to me makes about as much sense as a painting existing after it's canvas is removed) I really don't think sexual fantasies would be of much interest as those kind of motivations have more to do with glands and biochemistry than anything else. Hell, even if that wasn't the case, spending eternity with only a finite number of *anything* to keep you occupied is going to get boring eventually. Even if it takes a thousand or trillion years (subjectively speaking) before you run out of things to keep you entertained you still have an endless stretch of time ahead of you and that plus boredom equals madness. I'd take oblivion over that any day. The only idea that even comes close to making some sense is reincarnation, not that I think that's possible either, but at least there's some logic to it. The Judeo-Christian-Islamic idea sound to me like being stuck in the matrix...sans kung fu. Mind you out of all the things religions go on about, this one makes the least amount of sense arguing about since it's the one thing we can all be sure that we'll all find out for ourselves sooner or later.
