I wonder how much of a relief the belief that when you sit on your deathbed you will be woken up again would provide.

Even if the tech doesn't work, I wonder how much relief from suffering the idea that it will in a hundred years could be

[kajumix]

Those hundred years won't exist for the dying. I would personally find comfort in knowing that I will feel waking up right away into a technologically much more advanced world

[jaco6]

Probably similar to the relief that the belief you will wake up from general anesthesia provides prior to surgery.

[bdcravens]

Isn't that the main promise of most religion?

[bambax]

It's really debatable if religious people actually believe in eternal life. If they did, they would immediately see that their behavior drives them straight to eternal damnation.

They don't seem to care about that, and the only rational explanation is that they don't believe there's anything after death. They're nihilists. We all are.
