Or kill them. (How's that for counterproductive?) You know, the ones that think all other religions (however loosely a self-deprecating Buddhism fits that description) are puppets of Satan.

Mainly I don't think that money = work = pain. While this can certainly be true in some cases, I think generalizing it is impossible. I still stick to the belief that if we are contributing something of value to society, that value will come back to us in the form of ability to sustain ourselves. If I had to choose a religion to abide by, a really simple form of Zen Buddhism is pretty much unassailable in my opinion. Our experiences have meaning, and this self-knowledge is the path the enlightenment and happiness. I agree with most of what you say minus a few (possibly key) things.
