If god can do anything can he make a rock that is too big for himself to carry? - Yes. However, if he can make it too big, he can make himself larger as well, or just make the rock smaller.

If christianity has one god then how come there is the son, god and the holy spirit (and jesus talks to god, so none of that they are the same thing unless jesus is crazy) - There is One God. He is God the Father. Jesus is the Son of God and Man, sent here to sacrifice himself for us and explain God in a matter that a human can understand. The Holy Spirit is God within us, also known as the Holy Ghost and the Helper.

How come there was a religion that was before christianity that is nearly identical, including a virgin mother? - If you are refferring to Zietgiest and his various references to earlier religions, you must understand that he lists as references the same people various times for the same thing. Also, the Egyptians, if that is what you are reffering to, quite basically said that so that they could have something for Christians to come to (kind of how like some of the churches of today exlude some Christian doctrines and put in some native ones - wich is wrong in every sence of the word).

If christians are so against gay rights then do they also wash one of their hands before the other? because that is next to it in the bible. - You are referencing the Old Testimate. However; us Christians do tend to wash our hands. In the New Testimate, Romans 1:18-25 references the various sins of people who fell out of the favor of God and fell into sexual immorality, such as laying with men as they would with women.

Full verse:

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

And Squig? If you don't believe in what is written in the Bible, then what is there to believe? It's like saying "I don't believe Jesus lived because someone could have written that he did instead of him actually existing". That is completely wrong.

No scripture goes back to Him withought it's work being done.
