Yeah, that's what many religions seem like to me. I've never been religious, and even when I was a kid the Bible stories stories like Noah Ark struck me as very silly. However, in my experience, most believers reduce the absurdity somewhat by adopting nonliteral interpretations of the texts. Many of the Christians that I've met, when pushed, don't seem to believe much more than that there's some sort of god-like being and that this being was connected in some way to Jesus. I live in a relatively secular area though; I know there are many places where the religious belief is stronger and more literalist.
