It is just a colection of nice fairy tales. Middle eastern tales and legends are just that:Legends.
They were written to entertain just like Harry Potter, Peter Pan of Lord of the Rings.

It would be a sign of delusional mental disorder to pretend that these tales and legends were true stories.

And it's been proven that humans use only 10% of their brain capacity. Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe you're just not as smart as God? Could it be that He is a little more powerful that we are? Could it be that since He is GOD He can do pretty much whatever He wants with no need to explain His actions to us? Ever heard of a little thing called faith? Use it. It comes in handy when you start trying to learn the ways & means of God Almighty. At least until we can start tapping into that other 90% of our brains.

All what you said is true (and did happened) except the symbolic cannibalism. Do you even know what the Lord's supper is symbolizing? Do your research before you dare to judge.

i think its more of a stretch to think that all of this is a result of cosmic randomness, and the planet just happens to work perfectly to support our existence. if we just evolved from monkeys or blobs or whatever, why did we develop things like love, ambition, a desire to understand our purpose, a desire to seek out a single partner, imagination, etc.... those things are not evoloutionarily necessary whatsoever. where did they come from?

also, the Lord wasnt teaching us to be cannibals. its a symbol for remembering our Lord. just like scattering a persons ashes is a symbolic thing done in rememberance of them. the lord gave them wine and bread (symbolizing his body and blood) to eat and drink in REMEMBERANCE of Him, not as a suggestion to eat other people.

What do you care if I want to believe in this? It's my problem if I choose to be unrealistic. I'm not forcing you to believe it.
And, by the way, it's spelled cannibalism

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

The bible is absurd, to say the least.
