Well, when the frog turns into a prince he gets to hump the princess. So...why not?
CG is the frog who dreams about sucking Jesus' dick. No princess is going kiss him.

Christianity talks about god creating the earth and why there is different languages and people and why we are here? If their was a god wouldn't you think he would want to send a book maby or a way to explain or communicate with us? And look on how other religions were spread and how they came to being alot were spread by sword and death and reasoning and errors in other religions.

Why does any religion have to make sense?
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Gargantuan but all too banal leap of faith .. mostly achieved by coercion from the time of birth. Way to go, Christian soldiers.

None. All religions share the same fundamental flaw that no amount of sophistry, cheap shots, and appeal to the worst instincts of the masses can ever hide.
The fact that a false story, if true, would be nice doesn't make it even a single measure less false. The fact that it is false is the only attribute which in the end matters.

While everyone is ultimately going to understand this story first hand, till they do, its just a story one either believes or not.   You might check out Swedenborg for something like that in the Western tradition.

If there was a relationship, there would only be one form of christianity. Either that, or he's really lousy at communication. Hinduism and buddhism probably make the most sense. Though it's more of a lifestyle, it doesn't demand the death of those who disbelieve. It doesn't threaten anyone with eternal torture, or reward us by letting us serve someone for eternity. It's actually a religion of peace, and preaches tolerance while having a just system for punishment and redemption.
Hitler, being catholic, most likely got into heaven, while Ghandi most likely went to hell. Your actions should be what you are rewarded or punished for. Not who you serve.

Sucking dick is the fastest way up the corporate ladder. I suppose in that context Christianity certainly makes the most sense, as metaphorically doing the same for Jesus gets you a spot in heaven.
