Christianity is the belief that a person must aspire to measure up to a man-god named Jesus Christ, even though Jesus Christ is alleged to be the human embodiment of an infinite God.
How can a person strive to be like a man-god, however, when they are simply human? Simple, first they have to be willing to die (or more often be wiling to crucify others who dare to doubt their beliefs are anything less than infallible) for their brand of Christianity, just like Christ died for their miserable sinful souls. Makes perfect sense.
Second, you have to be willing to strive your whole life to be as perfect as Jesus, even though there's not a snowballs chance in hell of ever achieving such a pursuit. In short, this is like believing one must be willing to devote their whole life to counting to infinity. And when they die, they are not judged on whether they ever reached infinity, but whether they, like Sisyphus, wasted their whole life counting.
In short, being a Christian is to spend one’s entire life counting to infinity as the only way to avoid hell by not engaging in something that the person knows is impossible. Brilliant.
