the wages of sin is death (as contrasted to life):
Romans 6:23

the dead (those who have died as contrasted to those still living) know absolutely nothing:
Ecclesiastes 9:5


Death is total lack of awareness of the Spirit within you while on this plane. The Spirit is the living Christ. Life means living in that Spirit. It is the awareness, acknowledgment and openess (i.e. meekness)to allow the Spirit to manifest in this plane. This Life is good.
It has nothing to do with being dead or alive physically.

the whole reason for existing is to learn to treat people as well as we treat ourselves

No, not in Christianity anyway. The reason for existing is to have faith, love God and allow the Christ or Spirit to outpicture in all things. Living this way leads to your conclusion. Doing it or controlling it (acts of man) without this faith fail. (i.e. socialism)

Just two examples, but most of your other interpretations are too literal as well. That said, you are more on the right track than most.
