I just really don't like the idea of being...finite. And of the people I love being finite. I'd love the idea of an afterlife/reincarnation. But rationally, I just can't believe in that.

Yep, me too. I like the idea, but I can't bring myself to actually believe in it.

I played with different beliefs on an intellectual level for years, never really believing in any of it, until suddenly I realized what I did believe. It's the complete opposite of rational, and it's the opposite of finite, and now I couldn't change it if I tried. It's made me realize the difference between thoughts and beliefs, and that you can never really know where your beliefs will end up.

That's interesting. I find the idea of infinity terrifying and the whole idea of an afterlife scary as hell. When I was a kid and my grandma dragged me to church and they would talk about heaven I would ask questions like "wouldn't you get bored of everything after awhile?" Youth pastors and Sunday school teachers would say stuff like "a minute in Heaven is like a thousand years on earth" but when you are talking about infinite afterlife the entire concept of time doesn't even matter anymore. I still can't fathom the idea of existence going on and on forever, the idea of a finite life is way more comforting and less scary to me

I guess I don't feel like I'd run out of things to do, even if I had a really, really long time.

Though this is why I like the idea of reincarnation most: part of you lives on in someone else, but you get to start over every time.

Yep. I'm terrified of just ending one day, and that it will happen to everyone and everything I've ever cared about and even to the people and things--and stars and planets and galaxies and universe--that I don't care or think about much. If I could believe it wouldn't happen, I think I'd be a lot happier or at least less anxious. But I can't. I never could. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been a believer if I'd been raised religious.

I went to Catholic school for over a decade. I'm pretty sure that if it was going to rub off on me, it would have already.
