Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that there is some kind of afterlife after we die. So, what would you want to be doing during all that time?

Would you live it much as you live your life now? Would you float through the clouds and heavens for the rest of eternity? Would you relax with your family, loved ones and pets for the rest of your days? Would you socialize with all the people in history who have made it to the other side with you?

What's your afterlife going to be like?

I would spend my hypothetical afterlife just hanging out with my late best friend, going to the beach, listening to music and all the other things we used to do.

If there is an afterlife, how would you want to spend your time living it?

Sleeping

I have to admit i've never thought about it....

Would it be compartmentalised i wonder so you only interact with those you knew... i have no idea. I'm going to have to think on this a while.

Catch you later.

I dunno.
Having an afterlife makes the current life we're living meaningless and not being able to die makes the afterlife meaningless too.

According to the bible, my many GF's who I knew in the biblical sense will cause a consternation of epic proportions. There are gonna be jealous husbands I shall have to avoid and when my wife arrives, I am really gonna be in for it. (longevity is on her side)

Of course being resurrected as 20-30yo is the assumption.

Then again seeing My ladies all used BC and in fact do not prevent conception, the horror of being greeted by a thousands of kids shouting "Daddy!" would be too much for my frail heart to handle

My first choice would be to truck on here on earth. I really enjoy my life, and find the world I live in amazing - although moving on to an alien planet might be cool, too.

It would NOT be progress for me to move on to a heaven where my new job would be to worship God all day. I like the job I have now much better than that. I could probably do it for 2 or 3 years, but eventually I would have to resign.
