Look guys, this is 2014 not 1714.
Religion is just a hang over from the old days when man lived in caves and hadn't yet invented science. Gods were just a means of explaining what Man didn't understand. Gods of all sorts of things were invented eg. War, Thunder, Love, The Sea, The Sky etc. Back in those days man was very superstitious. If there was a storm, for example, Man thought that he had offended the Gods. He wasn't sure how but he knew that he had. He then thought about how. Usually, the thought processes only extended to the last thing that he did before the storm appeared.
Then, some smart cookies became shamen/priests/medicine men and pretended to act as intermediaries between the Gods and Man. They became powerful members of the community - and liars.
Then, some even smarter cookies came along who had the idea that if they invented a super God, a God of all Gods, then they could become rich and powerful. So, being smart and learned (and liars and power-crazed) they invented God. They invented stories about this God and wrote it down on papyrus and added some facts so that they could associate their lies with some truth, thereby converting the lies into truths. They made this God real scary because people would then be afraid not to believe. They wrote tripe such as 'God 'smite' such and such or so and so', though what the hell smiting means, fcuk knows. This piece of turd constituted the old testament. Not many people believed this twaddle and Man stuck to the old Gods, save a few that lived in Middle Earth.
These smarter cookies realised that they screwed up when they invented this malicious and nasty god. He didn't prove at all popular. Then this nut-job jesus guy shows up claiming to be the son of god. He preached love and peace, man. Just what the smarter cookies needed. They invented all sorts of sh1t that the jesus guy did and re-branded this one god fella as a jolly good chap. As a consequence, they wrote all sorts of new sh1t and called it the new testament. This was a lot more popular 'cos he was a good god. He was all forgiving and all.
Something stinks at this point, methinks. This nasty piece of work called god now suddenly becomes this cool dude who is all full of love and all.
This new/old god proves to be a bit more popular and word soon spreads out of middle earth into the suburbs.
These jesus freeks start converting Man into god-fearin' christians and the ball starts a rollin'.
Then the katlicks get to work and come up with this virgin birth nonsense - for pity's sake guys, get a brain.
Then the katlick priesthood decide that if their followers believe in that bloody nonsense, they can use the church to cover up the fact that they are performing their vile sexual acts on young boys. After all, the followers of the katlick faith can't be intelligent and believe the denials of their men of god.
For pity's sake christians, get a grip.
Is it likely that a virgin gave birth?
Is it likely that there is a sky wizard?
