Well Starboy, it is dificult to respond to you because your post is absurdly long. I will try to address points seperately to save space and keep everyone's attention.

I will first address "the offer you can't refuse." First, I will admit that I am religious. And you are right that many people hold this view. I agree it is a ridiculous one. Anyone who claims ,"you join my church you go to heaven and if you don't you go to hell," is full of crap and can shove it up their butt. I don't mean to be cruel, but this is a senseless idea. I don't believe this at all, and I know many religious people who hold the stance that I do. Many people wish to scare you so that they can get your money. But a lot of people genuinly believe the church they are in. It isn't dishonest if you truly believe what you say. Misguided perhaps.....
As for the belief in an afterlife, you can't say for a fact that no one knows if there is one. I will not bore you with details, but if nothing else there are many people who think they know there is an afterlife. Many of these tales are absurd, but I believe a select few. Very few.
That is all for that one.... stay tuned.
