Re: So you'd rather lie to yourself...
I would rather have a worthwhile destiny, to a worthwhile end. A worthwhile afterlife.
Afterlife, huh? A friend of mine, maybe a speck more cynical than I, used to say, "People in Hell would like ice water, but they'll settle for soapsuds."
I have to agree with John Lennon, though: "No Hell below us, above us only sky."

Re: The great Vacuum in the sky
What is the source of the electricity that = life?
I know! Pick me!
The reactions of adenosine triphosphate, mostly. They're run ultimately by oxygen reacting with sugars and such. When you quit using oxygen, and when the piddly anaerobic reactions you have going run down, too, your voltages go to zero. Then you're a memory.
