"That is the only part that you will have, that has a chance at perpetual existence, in one form or another, as it relates to physical reality. Everything else, will be forgotten. Of course, if a god / God exists, all that changes. So far, I'm skeptical regarding the latter."

Thanks for the explanation, I understand your perspective. ....Does God really exist....the question of all questions....I chose to have faith in the latter....not in hopes of claiming some reward...but because I believe each of us is part of something much greater than the whole of humanity and its pepetuation....

BTW, welcome to FR....

That's your right to choose. You have willingly chosen to place yourself in that position, accepting the risk that follows from removing yourself from the mad game life on this planet sets for all. Whether you will be rewarded or your genetic legacy punished, in the long run, will depend solely on whether the entity of God exists, or not.
