Why would anyone want eternal life?

Religious people take their books too literally, most of them are filled with metaphor. Immortality likely is through ones offspring, not lingering in some ethereal afterlife. Even if religions are correct in their belief of eternal life- who would want that?? George Carlin commented on the boredom that would set in- how would one pass the time? He thought maybe takeing up playing saxophone for 100,000 years. Why would anyone want to live forever? How would they pass the time? Being a slave to some deity is not my idea of a fun time
