How's that in itself even necessary.

I don't need the concept, but it is possible. Others use the concept extensively and at length in their moral constructs, which they can if they are so disposed.

Yes but what if people tied you up and left you in a cell for what would seem like an eternity, being close to it. And then you'd be on the run for years. Not very fun.

Yeah, I could be in jail for a millenium.

Or worse, embedded in a block of cement. Now that's epic boredom!

Haha yes, this would be a downside. Or... say... falling down a mine shaft and getting trapped. One would get to endure a perpetual suffocation and pain until (and just maybe) a couple thousand years later something unearthed ya.

oh yea, there are most-definately dire possibilities!

When we speak of immortality do we also mean to say that our body doesn't deteriorate in any environment? Because immortality must imply that we do not rely on anything to live, not reality. So god would in no way help us if it did exist.
