While searching the web regarding the logic of religious dogmas, I came across the following. Apparently, this tidbit has been floating around cyberspace for a while…………………………. I've omitted the relatively gory picture that usually accompanies it.
"Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own
father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his
flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your
master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that
is present in humanity because a rib woman was convinced
by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... yeah, makes sense"
I'm not sure if this suggests that a) you can a make silly things sound logical, b) make logical things sound silly or c) both a and b. But I'd likely choose c.
