I'll try to list but a few.
Creation.
Adam and Eve.
Talking snake.
Virgin birth.
Zombified Jesus.
Saul of Tarsus and his temporal lobe epileptic conversion into Paul, the greatest salesman ever known.
Oh, and the fact that 'not coveting your neighbours stuff' (which is the basis of capitalism) being mentioned in Decalogue but not mentioning Rape or Child Molestation - it's almost as if it was condoned, huh?

They are just so many things to choose from. Basically anything in Leviticus. The claim that homosexuality is "discussed" in the bible is one of the most ridiculous claim though. The word is never used in the original text nor did the concept of homosexuality as we know it today. Which I guess really is the most ridiculous part of Christianity, trying to apply the ramblings of illiterate goat herders on ancient smack to the modern world as rules to live by. Would anyone in their right mind goto someone like that for adivice?

As a former Catholic, I still laugh about the no meat on Fridays during lent. It use to be every friday until the pope must have had a heart-to-heart talk with god, and scaled it back. So as a kid we would go out and eat tasty fried fish and chips, then as I got older crab and lobster was acceptable. Then during my transformation to ex-Christian, I wondered where in the bible it mentioned this, and if genocide was allowed to happen in the world, does god really care what the heck I eat on fridays?

That part of the king james bible that claims Satan is part angel and part musical instrument. I think the translators were on crack. Of course, they aren't really talking about Satan but that's what a lot of people believe. It is talking about a human king and his kingdom.
Ezekiel
28:13 - Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
That's the second silliest thing, people think Satan is everywhere.

I have to agree with QED. When ever someone tells me that the trinity is a mystery or that it is just to hard for people to comprehend or too confusing, I ask "I thought God was not a god of confusion." The water/ice/gas or the apple explainations are funny though.

Nothing is silly about a loving God sending His Son to a horrible and cruel death to pay for your sins and mine. He loved us that much. Just can't find anything silly about it. Hope you see the light before you leave this earth. If not, it will be too late.
I pray daily for the salvation of all atheists, especially the mockers on this site.

The concept of the trinity, hands down.
There is no way for it to make any sort of logical sense, even though some try. Most simply say "its a mystery how it works," which is just as bad.
Yes, the concept of the trinity is undoubtedly the oddest part of the Christian mythology.

I would have said Jerry Falwell, but, well...

The fact that Christians pick and choose what to believe out of the Bible. Or that so many Christians are so eager to send you to Hell. Main reasons I'm searching for other means to live my life besides Christianity.

When the Christian Clergy quote Jesus about GIVING to Caesar God FIRST... and from whatever is left over to the Bible God... I wonder if they think what they say! Most Christians and maybe Jesus are ignorant that Caesar was worshipped as God!
