Christians tell me that Jesus is the son of God, but they also tell me that he is god... HOW DOES THAT WORK? Am i just trying to hard to rationalize this?

yes, no point rationalizing myths

There was some confusion about this back in the fourth century.
Blame Constantine I for invoking the council that would determine that the Father was inherently of the same "substance" as the Son, if you will.

It's not that hard a concept to get, after all in Buddhism there are myriad Buddhas that are all simultaneously the same individual.

It's also questionable why God would need to reproduce, and why he would do so with a human woman, but that didn't stop Zeus either.

Gods procreating with humans is pretty common mythology really.

seems that there are no godesses, huh

Too bad. It's easier to worship something that looks like what you'd want to bone.

Ever notice priests and that mostly naked Christ on a cross?

Well, there used to be.
And I guess in Hinduism female deities are still critical.

Oh wait, the saints!
There are some pretty hot saints, like Joan of Arc imo, although they're nothing compared to the sexualisation of pagan and hindu goddesses.

There's plenty of goddesses in Shinto too.

Jesus is god incarnate. They (father, son & holy ghost) are all the same.
