I was reading up on cryonics to see what current state of the art is and accidentally stumbled on this:
http://www.alcor.org/Library/index.html#religion
The lengths people would go to sell a product
Anyway, I thought the religious might enjoy taking a crack at the subject. I'm guessing smth along the lines of devil-conjured science potentially destroying the most fundamental parts of our lives (death that is)?

Rich people/atheist will go to great lengths to hopefully extent their lives or live forever but not simply believe and do it the easy way.
The other ways will never work, oh well someone will get rich off of the scheme and then lose their money probably by being sued.

So if someone offered you eternal life (as we know it) you'd politely refuse it for the allegedly better offer of eternal after-life? You know there are ways of dying without actually committing suicide (wreckless self-endangerment
) and thus sinless, so what exactly is stopping you from doing that?

But eternal life is not immediate you are dead until Christ returns which could be today or 1000 years from now.
Also as a Christian you are given this life to enjoy and carry out responsibilities. So death is not a welcomed friend but an enemy, because in death there is no conciousness, no memory no work, no device, no anything under the sun.
