On those things, we may speculate, disagree, and have our personal opinions. I don't see why that's such a big deal.

Yeah, the important thing is to agree to at least PART of the story, so it doesn't look like everyone has their own version of god and his plan and most are contradictory.
No, the important thing is to agree on what actually matters and applies to us. As for judgement in the afterlife, we won't be the ones doing it. We believe God will. So we don't need to know exactly how the judging will go down because it's not our job to do it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
