Do you guys think I am mad for this? I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of the atheist community on this topic.
Good for you. If you find a tool to peace use it. I was a Buddhist for a little while after I left the church. Then I read the Buddhist encyclopedia and it cured me. Reminded me of all the Christian BS out there. It was plain to see that it is mam man made. Buddhism is most likely the least damaging religion if you have to have one.
