It is, and it is not. Their god is three people, and not three people.

If the practiced in private, like Jesus said, it would be harder to save people from hell.

I'm surprised that movies and shows like The "History" Channel's The Bible, or the recent Noah and Exodus movies, are allowed by christians to be made. Seeing things like the splitting of the Red Sea, the burning bush, and giant rock people on the big screen really shines a spotlight on how silly these things are. My favorite part was the casting of The Bible; everybody cast in the OT was middle eastern, then, Jesus shows up and suddenly he's the first white guy. You can sort of compartmentalize Jesus as white in your head and never give it much thought, but seeing the story unfold shows in stark contrast how ridiculous it is.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

A lot of Christians can't handle the fact that if Jesus actually existed, he'd look a lot like the kinds of people they'd rather bomb out of existence.
Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a thing.

This is true. He was a middle eastern Jew, but he's depicted as light skinned. Even his beard is typically much shorter than it should probably be.

You can't get much weirder then the story of Balaam's talking donkey.
