Religion is the root of all evil. I told my family that last christmas. They were utterly shocked.  Zeitgeist is interesting but should be taken with a grain of salt.

Haha. Yeah I kinda choose to keep my beliefs to myself unless im drunk

section is pretty spot on.

I generally think that anyone who is serious about a religion is at least partially crazy.  You'd have to be, right?

Yeah I mean I dont see how else someone could so blindly believe
in such things. Its cool if you believe in god or a higher power
but to align urself with any type of religion is just crazyness like
you said.

I believe that souly putting 100% faith and devotion to one god would be partially insane in my eyes. I have faith in myself and my own abilities and attributes/experiences.
Eg. In the midst of a firefight during wartime.
I would solely rely on my own physical and mental strength/skills in order to prolong my survival and to do the job at hand effectively. I would not waste time praying to a omnipotent being in the hope that they would offer me some sort of miracle.
However this is a completely subjective view, some may find strength and guidance through their own beliefs and I totally respect that.

They could be really genius though. Just lookin' at it from a different veiw. What if we are crazy for thinking that religion is? I mean yeah it doesnt make a lot of sense but still.

There's no genius in that kind of crazy. Just like 'there's no love in fear'.

Being that many non-religious ideologies have fueled their share of crimes against humanity, i would say the real issue here is human nature

many of the more liberal sects of Christianity look at the bible as nothing more than a man produced document that presents an enlightened metaphor on how to live a moral existence

You know, that's something I often see stated, but never substantiated. And being that atheism is a relatively new and rare phenomenon, I'm not sure it would state anything particularly nefarious about religion if it was.
Especially when considering the state of NK, the actions of the Khmer Rouge(sp), and the Holocaust
Also, it seems that most wars or actions that are justified via religion, are nothing more than age old competition over limited resources.
Darfur and the Israel/Palistine conflict(which started secular in nature and only became somewhat religiously oriented later on) are perfect examples of this

The overall message in most religions (at least the originals)
are very positive. But Christianity and Islam are the two main religions
in which they have been manipulated by the teachers and the students
to put in a level of fear, control, and hatred into anything that
does not run parallel to its own beliefs. This has caused war and death.
Among many or terrible things. I would continue but im busy. i will chime in again later.

I find the Buddhist beliefs and life quite similar to my own beliefs however the part about abstaining from bodily pleasures and intoxicants?!?!
