    Eternity of anything would be boring. You’d eventually become the paragon of apathy, numbed by experience, an akinetic mute.

      An eternity of reincarnation where you never remember your past life or know for sure that there is another one. And if you’re thinking that can’t happen because of the heat death of the universe, that’s how they keep it a secret.

      Devil’s advocate:

      No it wouldn’t if an all powerful deity allows you to not feel that boredom. Maybe you can be bored recreationally. As a treat you know?

      Certainly any “infinite reward” existence would be something very different than our current state of being but an all powerful being could create something like it.

      Apathy could be removed, or adjusted too. As can memories, let’s say at our own will. Sheep detective style. Let’s replay Elden ring for the first time for the 100th time. Make the conditions perfect to feel the same thrill.

      You can exist in bursts. Tailend your life, wipe, repeat. Look back at a whim to see many pasts.

      New Atheist: “God isn’t real!”

      God: “Oh yeah, real original. Like I haven’t heard that one a zillion times before.” slumps into Angelic throne, full of ennui
