As far as a creator is concerned, I'm an agnostic too. It's just the ideas about heaven and hell, of a creator with an interest in the personal salvation of individuals that make no sense.

some loved ones would be being tortured in hell which would make me sad. So, either I would not go to heaven, they would not go to hell or my brain would be changed somehow to make me not care about them.

Good point, not thought of that one. Added to my list of nonsenses.

This was one of the first stumbling blocks I found when I was a Christian. I asked someone what I would do if I lived forever as everythine would eventually get boring. They mumbled something and tried not to answer.

Then it went along to things like there being no sorrow in heaven ... but some loved ones would be being tortured in hell which would make me sad. So, either I would not go to heaven, they would not go to hell or my brain would be changed somehow to make me not care about them (not appealing).

Nah, just treat it as the next big adventure.

Assuming, of course, you've spent your days treating life as an adventure rather than a thing to be endured in the hope of better things to come.

Well, technically, everyone is an agnostic about pretty much everything.

I believe that definitive proof can never been determined, and as such accept other people do have faith in the unknown and find comfort in this.
