The place that I'd have to dwell, forever, would need to be pretty interesting, otherwise I'd most likely end up drinking too much bourbon.

Forever is a long time to be stuck in the same place. That's just not for me. Suppose the gods like me and reward me with a beach chair on a sandy tropical beach with all the food and drink I could want. As much as I like the tropics, I'd get pretty sick of it after a few months.

If it comes with forever beer and pizza ! Yeah, I would stay forever on Parrot Head. You would have to see it to understand. A couple of broads here and there would make it just right ! LOL

Boring. I'd be looking for the kill-switch to self-terminate but *shudder* I'm already dead so I'm stuck there.

Hmm. Maybe you just described Hell.

Without any chance at a change of scenery, or company or options of activities, it would still amount to an unending hell no matter where it was. No thank you. 

Put me down for reincarnation instead. I'd jump at another go at this mortal adventure.

That's one of my problems with the concept of Heaven ... Unless my free will were turned off, I'd get pretty tired of singing praises to some deity for all eternity ...

Depends on whether I'd have the same body or mindset, and where that place was.  Animals do not have the same idea of time as we do because they live in the moment by instinct so they experience life very differently to us.  Animals can be controlled physically, but humans can be controlled both physically and mentally because we fear death and suffering. Take away the idea of time and a physically decaying body and you just have "now" so "forever" has no meaning.

Not only does that frighten me, but it should frighten all who consider it.

Most of those whom consider heaven or a place like it to be real haven't REALLY considered all that it means. Unless there is some all powerful being to give you a frontal lobotomy every 10 years, yo will lose your &%#@. If Agnes Cravetes (Bewitched neighbor) irritates you a little in the few years you knew her . . . Imagine spending eternity dodging her . . .

Reminds me of a joke:
Man goes up to heaven and meets Saint Peter at the gate. Saint Pete looks him over and says “The man known as “Z” . . . Come with me.”
You notice two other men are following along as well. You walk to a long corridor and Pete stops and turns. “Now, although you didn’t warranty an eternity in hell, you still must have penance in heaven for the wrong you did do on earth.” Pete walks to the first door and summons one of the men in you group to come over. The door swings open and in there is the most horrific looking trailer white trash women sitting on a bench in the room.
Pete says “Mr. Smith, because of the wrong you did on earth you will have to spend eternity with this foul creature . . .” – Pete grabs the man’s shoulder and pulls him and shuts the door.
After seeing this you start sweating and are more than a little worried. - continued -

The next door Pete stops and motions for the other man next to you. The door swings open and it’s the man’s first wife, complete with hundreds of extra pounds, curlers in her hair, and a cigarette hanging from her mouth. “Mr. Jones, because of the wrong you did on earth you will have to spend eternity with this foul creature . . . whom I believe you are already acquainted with.” He says with a smirk. “No!, But But . . . NO!” says Mr. jones as he is hurled into the room.

Now you are in full on panic mode. Pete stops at the next door and looks you over. . . “Hmm, you’ll do.” . . He swings open the door and sitting on the bench is the gorgeous movie star you have had a mad crush on all your adult life . . . just as think you have hit the jackpot Pete turns to her and says “Miss [Gorgeous Movie star you have had a crush on all your life], because of the wrong you did here on earth you have to spend eternity with this foul creature.” He says motioning to you . . . “NOOOO!” She screams as he shuts the door.

Eternity will be a place of constant
growth in love and understanding.
Questions asked will always have truthful answers and we will no longer
be plagued by the concept of “doubt.”

Your cup must be miniscule.

It runneth over far too easily.

Perhaps I was wrong to credit you with so many cards in your deck.

Would it be anything like the game I'm playing, World of Warcraft, endless, where I can learn all these skills and fight all these monsters and demons, and still be back home in time for supper? I suppose you could sign me up for that.

Awful. Especially when I get rewarded with the same thing as what religions said it's pervert and sin and just baaaad! Back on earth and that temporary life. Now in eternal life I gotta dwell forever with all the angels around me for every single good thing I've done. I would feel guilty as well and i would blame myself as if "This" is how I suppose to be rewarded why didn't I use my freaking time on earth when I had enough time. So I would feel a mess and so fooled.

Living forever on earth with none of the problems that we have today is what I am looking forward to. There will be no boredom since God created us and he has lived forever, he knows what it takes to be happy eternally we don't .  Psalms 37:10-11,29 " But the meek will possess the earth. And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."  The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it."

If in this afterlife you can't die once you make it to this "place", if the "place" where I'd stay is infinitely large then I don't think I'd have a problem living forever. The changing seasons, climates, conditions, and organisms would keep me entertained.
