How about the idea that all humanity is inherently wicked and undeserving of God's cheap imitation of love and forgiveness? And why are we allegedly corrupted? Because God placed a fucking forbidden tree in man's backyard just before or after he put the finishing touches on that man's brain--which, by the way, was programmed to enjoy the experience of eating forbidden fruits.

The very idea of an omniscient, benevolent, omnipresent God is inherently paradoxical. The idea that God is both God and Jesus is paradoxical. This shit just doesn't make any sense at all.

I use to say something stupid about this. I use to say that god did this out of love. Like he blinded himself out of love, even with the outcome possibly being so "horrendous". How stupid does that sound? I didn't even want to type it. This all-knowing, all-loving LORD OF THE SKIES.. you know what I hate about christianity? The fact that this healed by his stripes shit never works..ever.. unless science saves the day. They don't see a contradiction here. lol
I hate the bible. I love that do as thy whilst stuff.

Americans love the Bible because it validates their racial prejudices. It provided them with an excuse to own slaves. It gave them a reason to prohibit interracial marriages. And it also served as a foundation for countless Jim Crow laws. Even today some "preachers" cite it as a reason to discriminate against poor people and homosexuals. It also serves as justification for having the death penalty and for incarcerating millions of people in prisons with lengthy sentences.

The main character was a member of another religion (Judaism). Actually all the main characters in the NT were, but big J was very specific throughout Matthew and Mark - here for the Jews and not anyone else. At least that was the message until the resurrection story in the last chapters was invented and the bit about spreading the news to the world was put in - in total contradiction to everything J had said prior to that chapter.
Its the most obvious bolt on bit of a story I have ever seen - it even clearly says it in Mark that the last verses are not found in the earliest copies.
Other than that - born of a virgin with a dream being the supporting evidence. Of the line of David but also the son of God paradoxically. Rejected by the people of his own village. Ignored by historians. Performed miracles no-one outside the faith thought worthy of reporting. Raised the dead when he resurrected - again without anyone noticing.
Died but came back 3 days later to shoulder the burden of all of our sins that were put on us by the actions of a couple of fruit grabbers in a Garden thousands of years before. His death is payment to himself (him being the father - or not - depending on the needs of the story) in order to fool himself into thinking dead people get into heaven sin-free.....
Its a fucking long list and I have something to do.
That will do for now.

Nothing in Christianity or the bible makes sense, but you're just supposed to have faith. It's quite laughable.
