As for the final church scene, yes all those people were dead (IMO) but the important thing to remember is what Jack's dad said to him. He said that all these people had died at different times, some before Jack (ie Locke, Boone, Charile, Sayid, etc) and some after him (Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, etc) but that time didn't matter in that place.
To me that makes sense because imagine a situation where you die decades before your soulmate does. What kind of place would that church (heaven's waiting room for lack of a better term) be if you had to wait around for years and years before the most important person in your life eventually died and made it to you? THAT would be a real hell.

For Faraday's mom, I think she was aware that there was a place after the Sideways purgatory/whatever but, like Ben, she wasn't quiet ready to go there yet and but she also didn't want to lose her son. That is why I think she didn't want Desmond hanging around. I believe she was afraid Desmond would take Daniel and she'd have no one.

thanks,I didnt realize or remember Jacks dad saying that to him.Was Richard at the church? I dont remember seeing him there.Some people Ive talked to think they all died on the crash but your interpretation is they didnt.Haha,its just a tv show,I need to let it go and quit trying to figure it out because I dont think you can
