I'd be more concerned with their being nothing after death like Atheists believe...
Well... I am an atheist and a physicalist... and I don't believe that I will cease to exist after death... There won't be "nothing"... And anyone who believes that, the "I" that experience and therefore undeniably exist, will somehow magically blink out of existence upon my death, while all the other physical components of which my body is composed will continue to exist, isn't really an atheist or physicalist at all... they're all dualists in denial...

Man Atheists are fucking cursed. If there's a god after death the Christians would be smuglords. If the Atheists were right they can't even laugh about it.
Dunno. I'm not Christian. I find the Christian concept of Heaven equally abysmal and awful in its own way. To me, the Christian God is the ultimate narcissist who is also guilty of astonishing levels of Pride and pettiness while Satan is just the physical personification of Bitterness, Jealousy, Envy.

To respawn and immediately die of old age again over and over and over again

See that is more hell than any Christians concept of hell. one, you just burn a lot. Terrible yes, but I've learned that while physical pain is excruciating and far worse in the short term, it eventually loses out to mental/emotional pain in the long run. What you describe is mental/emotional pain in the worst possible degree, or at least right below that.

It falls apart pretty quick when you add in the factor that the man may not remember his multiple deaths in every respawn.

Can't decide if that is agreeing with my point or disagreeing. kudos, you have confused the hell out of me. Have a cookie. Or a missile.

Whichever is more of a kink to you.

I would hate to start over, I would never want to revisit my previous lives, the karma expense is a nightmare to do something like that. I would prefer the awful job of land wight (Landvættir) for a thousand years than to have a redo for a human life and this has me shudder even if the +karma is extremely high. Even if you remember your previous life it is mostly pointless and distracting not to mention lonely. Know how to carve rock only to see the types of rock are not familiar, know how to tan hide only to see so much red tape to get to the skinning part that it gives you a headache, don't even get me started on making medicine or construction of a house. Anyways the Earth is a wired and not simple place much too small in the grand multiverse.

Nah, just toying with the concept of respawning after every death but you don't remember any of your past lives. Deja Vu is okay, maybe, but you can't remember it at all. Which begs the question: is it really punishment if you don't even suffer?

Fuck, if masochists ever go to hell that'll be Hella fucking awkward.

Nah. We just laugh at them while we're still alive :D

As someone that does believe in a higher power that originated the universe, but not in the narcissism of humanity that is their belief of continuing magically their sentiency after their eventual expiration, my worst fear is simply the extinction of my flickering species in the vastness that is in the timeline of the universe.

My greatest wish for humanity is for us to eventually discover a way to end entropy. Anything other than success is but my worst fear.


Watch this video. Its pretty informative about how minuscule decades, centuries, millions of years or even billions of years are to the universe's life.

The video is an incredible work of art by itself.

What is "I" in this view? What defines it as different from not "I"? You mention experience, as how you know "I" exists, yet claim the "I" exists even without experience? The brain is a rather important organ for the capacity to experience things. When it dies, that capacity is lost. There are also other methods to make experience cease in a more temporary manner, such as General Anesthesia. If experience is how we know we exist, how can there be any certainty that we exist when we don't experience?

The worst thing for me would be not being reunited with loved ones. In some ways, I'm looking forward to death because I believe I'll be reunited with everyone I've lost. If I don't get to see them, what's the point?
