You weren't dead for infinity. Death is a state that only exists after life, because by definition death is the cessation of life. The state of non-being before birth and the state of non-being after death may be the same, but the context of the existence of a physical living body in the interim matters.

I stood beside the caskets of my mother, my father and my grandmother. Trust me, life is finite and death is real.

Yeah, many of us have stood beside, behind, slightly in front of, or perhaps at some angle to the caskets of some loved one. This makes us exactly zero percent experts in how final death is, since of course we have no real clue one way or the other. That's a statement of fact, taking all religion aside. Given that we don't yet know what consciousness itself is or what it emerges from for our perception, we can't say anything certain about its nature after death. You're trying to be clever with weary cynicism, but know no better than anyone else.

Death is certain if you think you are body mind..
