What if we're all wrong!

A fun thought experiment of what if we, atheist, Christian, or whatever you are, all happen to be wrong about the afterlife. If you could 'pick' your second afterlife, which one would it be.

In my opinion, I rather take reincarnation ideas from Far Eastern Religions. Yes, I know they say that reincarnation is terrible and we should all break from this world. But in all honesty, you live an entire life, die, forget about it, and then is reborn into a new life doesn't sound that terrible.

Sure, you might find a shitty life, but you just forget about the moment you die. And yes, I get that you might be a different person after forgetting part, but is that a bad thing? I wouldn't want a craze serial killer coming back with the same personality and knowledge from the past life.

This sound far more attractive than being stuck in heaven or hell all day. One sounds boring and the other seem meaningless mean.
