If you're going to partake in any kind of intelligent discussion here, please use proper english, it will make us all hate you less.

Secondly, no it costs nothing to believe in a "spiritual kingdom," except for the fact in that in believing in a kingdom in the afterlife open exclusively to those who choose to believe a book of stories I'd be denying my rationality and narrowing my mind considerably in accepting that anyone who didn't come to the same conclusion I came to was damned to hell.

I have no problem whatsoever with people believing in an afterlife. I DO however have a problem with people who believe in heaven and hell, that members of their religion are the only ones who will be permitted to this wonderful kingdom, and the rest of us heathens are damned to hell. It's narrow minded, conceited, and utterly self absorbed drivel left over from an outdated and obsolete time period where societies' rulers used religion as a way to keep the population under their control.
