First of all, I would like to know, in your quote:
Quote:

To the Númenóreans they said that they did so because Eru had forbidden to admit Men to the Blessed Realm; and they declared also that Men would not there be blessed (as they imagined) but accursed, and would ‘wither even as a moth in a flame to bright’.

...who are
they? Can they be trusted? Do they know?
I can't say anything about "the majority," (I don't know any of them [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )but in Middle-Earth, at least, it's clear that not everyone wants immortality; elves and half-elves become mortal and the Edain live peacefully with the Elves. Perhaps, as you suggest, it would be different in Aman. But why?
