Logical opposite of everything is so perfect is that there exists one thing which isn't. That said, I can list you pages and pages of things that aren't even close to perfect.
Edit: On topic:
The way I see things, Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, etc. were probbaly one of the best liars in the world, also the greatest leaders. I don't think there is a god the way anyone else thinks there is. There is no heave, no hell, none of that psiritual crap. However, maybe something started the universe, maybe it was a whole race of things, maybe they are in some other dimension/time/whatever, maybe it wass on accident or maybe it was on purrpose. One thing still remains though is that after they created the univers, if something actually did, they stopped giving a shit about, or have no control over it so praying to them or hoping they could do something to change things is absolutely retarded and a waste of breath, time, or life.
I call this my homebrewed religion.

treading on dangerous ground, my friend.
I mean, do you think entire cities lied about his miracles? And even if you tried to argue about the entire (or the important parts anyway) bible being fiction, I would have to argue about the hell christians went through, so no reason for them to lie about a savior unless it was actually real.
I'm sorry, I just have very strong feelings about this matter when someone calls my savior a "liar", even though it is becoming even more commonplace in the world.
OT: christian! w00t!

I once knew a missionary that spent time preaching in Papua New Guinea. He said it's like going back in time when you go there, that it's mostly tribal towns and villages that know almost nothing of the outside world, many of whom didn't even know white people existed and were often times terrified of him.
Point is the people from these towns and villages told all sorts of stories of miracles. Healing men that could cure diseases, banish demons, bring their dead loved ones back to life, grant incredible hunting prowess to those they favored, and all sorts of other things. Alternatively they told stories of wicked men that would steal your soul, cause grave illness or cause aches and pains. Any anthropologist, missionary, and other people that go there quickly realize these things aren't true.
Why would entire towns lie about something like that? They wouldn't, they just are uneducated by modern standards and live in a mindset where a bug bite giving you malaria is absurd and a man with a bone through his nose is more likely the cause of your illness and eventual demise. They live in a world where magic is possible and thusly when attempting to explain ordinary day to day things will ascribe supernatural reasons, and then in time these get passed down and exaggerated greatly.
The jews and romans of ancient times lived in well...ancient times. Much like the people of Papua New Guinea they don't know jack and just make crap up. Furthermore there is no historical record outside of 4 gospels that say Jesus did any of that. And then highly uneducated people don't think twice about believing it. That's how legends get made.
And you think christians are the only ones who went through crap? They were the dominant world power for over a millinia, I'm not going to feel too sorry for what they had to go through. Seems like the Jews and the Muslims went through a hell of alot more, usually at the hands of christians. I guess the Jews were liars and were doing it for nothing though...
WHO IS JESUS REALLY?
