I had to have dinner with some religious family members. During the prayer I think my eyes nearly rolled out of my skull when I heard something like, "thank you Father for sacrificing your son to save us from our sins".

God creates people. God creates sin. God creates free will. God gets pissed because his people use free will and sin. God then has sex with one of the virgin people. She has a baby God. God makes that son (who is also God) get crucified because, well, that will atone for ours sins. But if we don't believe any of this, - eternal damnation.

Uhhh, WTF kind of tortured logic is that?
