The reason we have to feed the trolls, here, is that the admin team only harvests fat trolls, as a consequence of being lenient towards trolling...on acount of how so much of contemporary religion is indistinguishable from being a low rent troll.
It's basically offering them the opportunity of committing sepuku but without any honor, which they never fail to jump at.
Ahri being a case in point.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm mainly going to be responding to the OP because I can't be assed to read 30+ pages of thread.
I used to be a Christian and believe the same things you do, but after seeing all the little holes in my belief system and having people unable to fill in those holes with things that made sense I decided to become an atheist. A lot of the reason I was a Christian for so long was due to fear of burning in hell, but after seeing plenty of posts here disputing things such as this my worry has severely decreased.
There is no afterlife. Once we're dead we're dead. It'd be like being asleep.

You were honest with yourself, while other Christians (and other theists) are not, so they hear some logical fallacies, come here with them, and insist that they must be true.
And there lies the question: where is the difference? Why are some people honest to themselves, while others are not? And if they are not, how can you ever prove them wrong when they obviously don't want to listen?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
