No, it's not significant, it's wishful thinking. I realize this contradicts your religious fantasy world, but honestly, anyone who clings to this notion of eternal exisence is delusional. Life is short and it is finite. What you do with that time is the only thing that is significant. > The primary purpose of our brief existence here in a mortal body is to > learn about sin and rebellion.

Get this through your head, child. Nobody is "granted imortality", it's a FUCKING FAIRY TALE, borne of wishful thinking, Bronze Age superstitions, and brilliant marketing by your religion. Sheesh, you seem like a reasonable guy, but clinging to Sunday school stories only interferes in your ability to get the most out of your time on Earth.
