So, you're saying you would rather be dead as a door nail for eternity? You added the right comment at the end,
so sad, Atheists have a "fear of losing their opinion" so they wish it were true, no immortality or resurrection.
AI, one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is the holy fear of God. Meaning a reverence for who He is...
Pray for this gift, God loves you. Atheists and their denials, more fear of being wrong than thinking of their
soul.

I am saying that if given the choice between being alive forever or being dead forever, I would choose to be dead forever. However, if given a rather more detailed choice, I would choose an infinite cycle of living and dying. Live a life, die, live another life, die, life another life, die, etc. How else would I continue to experience life anew?

Reverence through trepidation? No. I don't believe in this. I think reverence comes from knowing what someone has done or is willing to do for another, and not to another.

Infinite recreation. The 'after' is indicative of always looking forward even as you keep the 'now' in mind. AfterInfinity means "never forget what is, has been, and can be again."

Reincarnation is not true............
Nowadays, there is little doubt that early Christians gave more credence to the concept of rebirth than was later the case. The main figure responsible for this change was no churchman but an ambitious, worldly and powerful figure Emperor Justinius. In the year 553, quite independently of the Pope, Justinius had the teachings of the church father Origen (185-253) banned by a synod. Origen had spoken out in unmistakable terms on the question of the repeated incarnations of the soul:
"Each soul enters the world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defects of its past lives. Its place in this world is determined by past virtues and shortcomings." De Principalis.
"Is it not more in accordance with common sense that every soul for reasons unknown — I speak in accordance with the opinions of Pythagoras, Plato and Empedokles — enters the body influenced by its past deeds? The soul has a body at its disposal for a certain period of time which, due to its changeable condition, eventually is no longer suitable for the soul, whereupon it changes that body for another." Contra Celsum."
