Chatterbox / The Meaning of Life

Well Click i have also several questions...
-I am an agnostic, because i have absolutely no clue about God existing or not. Because... how can we know ? A book or what someone told you ? How do you know that is true ?
- Converting because of the promise of a happy eternity in paradise is a purely egoistical reason. Do you think Christians have to be like that ?
-And why the hell an all-loving god and someone who gave us the choice of freedom would sent us to hell if we don't believe in him, that looks to me like something very cruel ?
-And also why an atheist that contributed to humanity's good would go to hell and a tyrant would go to paradise if he repents ?
-About the paradise... You say it is ever-lasting joy. But this isn't human ! Human nature is both experimenting joy and suffering (i am really simplifying). While we all crave for happiness, paradise looks like too much... that might turn us insane, or just drugged people just acting on instinctive urges to find pleasure. You must know that something pleasurable is much more pleasurable if you lacked it for some time.
-About immortality... The human mind has limits, and especially that we all grow bored of something while experimenting it for a long time. No matter how long it takes, one day or a hundred years, but you WILL most probably grow bored of that endless cycle. There are a lot of theories about the final boredom of eternity and IMO they have very good reasons to support them.
So according to my theory, the paradise would be full of drugged "junkies" always seeking for pleasure (first step, the newcomers) or bored people (second step, after many and many years of paradise). What's the point of that if God wanted humans to be both happy (that the second doesn't have) and gave us freedom (that the first doesn't have)?
I'd rather live longer on this world and age slower (not more than a couple hundred years though) and then fade into nothingness if i die.
That is all.
