Your 'all powerful', 'all knowing' god created humankind a few thousand years ago, didn't like how they turned out so drowned most of them, men, women, children, babies and animals.
Human Race Version Two gets under way but there is still too much wickedness so God (Who seems to have mellowed a little by this time) has to send himself to earth as his 'only son' so that he can be sacrificed to atone for the sin of all mankind. To do this he needs to impregnate a woman (who may have been as young as fourteen) so that she will give birth to the 'son of god'. Interesting how this is a theme in so many religions preceeding xtianity. A deity really couldn't be born from somewhere that was 'unclesn' now could it?
After being nailed to the cross in a bit of torture porn, Jesus is 'dead' for a couple of days and then rises up to heaven to be with his father (himself) and some dude called the 'holy spirit'. If you are catholic, you get to eat the flesh of christ as often as you choose.
I will be celebrating christmas by watching the George A. Romero back catalogue. Seems quite apt really.

Merry Christmas! Do you think the wise men were slightly worried about the parental uncertainty? They seem to bring alimony just in case.
