I personally find religion fascinating (specifically Buddhism and eastern religions)
However I believe you could have made your point without incorporating it
(Simply my tiny two cents. Don't weigh anything on it as I'm babbling that out rudely)
OT:
As selfish as it can be viewed I do wish for an eternal, or at least, extended consciousness. Specifically a longer lifespan in the same body. Reasons are solely to do with learning and experiencing. There's not enough time in a human life for me to become educated on all the subjects I wish to indulge in. Not enough time to do all the events and activities and traveling I vie for.
Though I'm well aware that humans are not psychologically equipped to cope with that stress. We'd slip into madness not long after a normal span of life. More or less due to watching repeated patterns of existence.

Indeed, I could've, but I included it to show where this concept is most prevalent and where a good example of it could be drawn from. Whether this was a mistake or not, due to how toxic anti-theists (or at least those around here) can be to civil discussions on hypothetical matters such as this, remains to be seen. I myself find the various religious systems scattered about mankind to be interesting as well, but I understand that this isn't the case for everyone. And that's reasonable, because you're right, there really isn't enough time in our typical lifespans to learn and experience as much as we might like, even though they have been considerably lengthened due to recent medical and technological advances. I could settle for an extended life as well, perhaps with the limits of the frail human mind and body removed for the sake of convenience, but still not an eternal one. Just wouldn't suit me.

What about eternity is unappealing to you

Being conscious for a highly extended period of time sort of...eats away at me, for lack of a better description. I know that probably doesn't make much sense, but it's difficult to explain.
