Is God's existence objectively verifiable?

Still doing things during my life while believing in God, His Son and The Holy Spirit. What will you be doing when your dead?

Oh yeah, believing out of fear, that's just great! Problem is, if you believe in the wrong god, you've also wasted your eternity. As there are thousands and thousands of gods, it's more probable than not that whatever god you chose is the wrong one. That sucks, doesn't it? To believe in the right god is basically the same chance as winning the lottery.

To answer your question, when I'm dead I will mostly be busy with being dead. Without any sensors for seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling nor the ability to think even a single thought, I don't think I will care too much. I think a big problem people have with death is that they simply cannot imagine not to be. It's understandable, no one can imagine such a state. But just because you can't imagine something doesn't mean it won't happen. However, I'm not afraid of death. I was dead before, about 30 years ago before I popped into existence. I don't have any bad memories about that time. In fact, I have less bad memories about the 13.8 billion years before my existence than I have about my lifetime! But whatever, my memories will be erased one day. And to me, that's a good thing. 

Eternal life for me is the biggest horror I could possibly imagine. Think about it, what will you do with all that time? No matter what you did, no matter how long you are already there, you always have an eternity ahead of you. I bet that gets boring real quick, like in 1.000 years or so. But that's nothing compared to eternity! You will be around for another trilliontrilliontrilliontrilliontrillion years and there's no way out whatsoever! How can anybody in their right mind desire such a state? 

As an agnostic, I find this depressing. Not that I disagree with you- there's more scientific evidence of this than not- I'm just depressed that it will simply end there.

 

I'd like to think that there are aspects of consciousness that we can't measure yet- I suppose whatever you would call a soul. Every religion has it, and it's hard to believe that isn't one. Of course, this is faith without proof. But I feel and hope there is something beyond our bodies, like maybe we just shed them and our ethereal selves can travel the cosmos, uninhibited by the laws of time and space.

 

Which would be totally badass. But I dunno.
