One of the most illogical stories in the Bible is the one about Jesus. There is no doubt, Jesus (if he existed) was one of the most transformative figures in the history of our species (for good or for worse). But the story surrounding him is very illogical.
Assuming most know about the basic story of Jesus, I will forgo explaining it. Here is why the story is ridiculous, almost in a comedic way.
The Holy Ghost (or God) impregnated Mary with his son (which is really himself), the purpose was so Jesus could go around telling people to be nice to each other, help the sick (which were only sick because he made them sick in the first place). Then he got executed by the Romans so his father (or himself) could forgive everyone because Eve ate fruit from some tree that made being naked embarrassing. Somehow that makes sense to Christians. Here is an analogy to put it into perspective...
We have this person named John. John's profession was a burglar. This one day he robs this home and steals almost everything. The guy that got robbed was named Micheal. Micheal sent his son over to John's hide-out to try to ask for the stolen items back — as well as try to convince the burglar to stop stealing. The victim of the robbery planned on having his son get killed, so he could forgive the burglar for what he did. That plan ends up working out because the son ends up getting shot to death. John (burglar) goes over to the dead body and realizes that the son was wearing a mask. He takes off the mask and finds that it wasn't Micheal's son, but was actually Micheal himself that got killed. But in reality it really was Micheal's son — Micheal is Micheal's own son. He was able to impregnate his mother with himself and when the mother gave birth they were still the same being somehow (I don't understand either). The burglar after some thought realized that the "son" was right. John started to worship the "son" as a god. He would take crackers (to represent flesh), prune juice (to represent blood) and would fantasize about eating the guy he murdered. He felt that doing this made the robbery victim become part of him. If this story makes sense to you, then you must be a Christian.
