I don't know if you fear it for the same reason I do, but I get the feeling that no one in this topic actually grasped the big picture. They're all looking at eternity as a very long time. What they're missing is the crushing blow: It never ends. I find it hard to believe that anyone could truly grasp eternity without getting that punched in the gut feeling that you get the first time you grasp death (as more than just going to sleep and never waking up).
My entire concept of existence is just destroyed by it. Can you really imagine anything without that cap at the end? You're never finished with eternity. It just keeps going. No matter what outcome it is, whether heaven, hell, nothingness, or reincarnation it's just horrifying to realize that there's never a real end.
