How about just make one up? Or 'reveal the divine inspiration' that you've secretly been storing. That way, you can have a belief that caters to your own personal needs. I, personally (being a shortsighted act utilitarian) would have all the nasty longterm consequences of my sometimes dubious short term pleasures removed in the afterlife. God, of course, would be Kim Basinger reincarnate and all other mortals would become my servants (except for various personal friends). I also would like to believe that I am the dauphin.

yes. To be immortal would be a great birthday present. If i were immortal, the first thing i'd do, would be to buy a ticket to barbados, find a deserted island and embark on a thousand year project to build my own civilisation from scratch.
