You kiddin? Jesus is the ULTIMATE tall tale. Let's see, he...
1. Was born of a virgin, impregnated by a god
2. Walked on water
3. Cured the blind and the fatally diseased with a touch of the hand
4. Created food out of thin air and turned water into wine
5. Was executed but then RESURRECTED FROM THE FREAKIN DEAD (that's my favorite little myth)
And those are just to name a few. That doesn't qualify as a tall tale? Jesus, to me, was essentially a kind-hearted cult leader whose message caught on. After all, we've heard the whole "Son of God" thing from other folks right? We just slap them with the crazy label, but Jesus was different right? He was divine. Suuuure.
