But it doesn't weigh upon many of us.

But it doesn't weigh upon many of us.
I already made the point that the atheist may be the best person for the job and that my dislike is emotional and that emotion would affect my vote.
I am aware of that.

I've always been fascinated by the desire to go on existing forever. It seems rather tiresome to me. LOL

Alright then.
In Advaita thought you don't exist forever as an individual; you will eventually merge into God/Brahman/One but this takes many lifetimes and experiences of spiritual growth.

It would be the "many lifetimes" part that puts me off. One is enough for me. LOL
Practice unconditional love and detachment well in this lifetime and you may not need a further human life; that is the goal. You can continue your growth on the higher realms after that.

Well for the most part I think I've got the unconditional love thing down. Not perfect by any stretch. Detachment doesn't sound like anything I'll ever find worth striving for.
