*ALL* religions are "crazy talk". They're all just a load of complete 
bovine excrement that should be well past their use-by-date in a 
supposed intelligent modern society. The fact that any of them still 
exist is beyond any sensible comprehension.

But if fools want to believe such nonsense preached at them by greedy 
con-men in the 'church', then that's up to them, as long as they do not 
go around trying to "convert" nor causing problems for any other 
people. The fact that so many wars and deaths have been caused by these 
supposed "good" people fighting about whose mythical superbeing is 
better than someone else's mythical superbeing, simply proves that the 
human race has still not reached the heights of real intelligence yet. 
Especially when you consider most silly religions have a specific rule 
about not harming others!!
