Heaven is Overrated

I had dream a few years ago that involved me dying and going to heaven, but when I got there, I realised that it was incredibly boring. So I left and started screwing around in the afterlife. I thought this dream was funny (Why would I leave eternal paradise?) and I didn't think about it until a few days ago that I realised that the whole eternal life thing is overrated. My justification is that in an infinite time period, anything and everything would become incredibly boring up to the point of becoming an eternal torture. Besides, heaven itself has too many restrictions, you can't do any of the fun stuff known as sins, because they frown upon that sort of thing and throw you out for doing it. Also, consider your company, the thousands of people who dedicated their lives to religion... this really makes for good company ;). I personally would rather die at some point than live forever. What are your views on all this?

I agree completely. Rather skip the whole after life thing and either die or get reincarnated. Or, you could keep starting a fresh life in paradise, erasing your memories every now and then so that you can once again experience new things. But that is similar to the reincarnation option, it just doesn't involve wasting time in a mortal realm more than once.
