Not necessarily. I think you have a very poor understanding of Christian theology, which contributes to your offhand denigration of said religion.
Let us being with your premise about being born into sin.
Properly understood, original sin is when our first human ancestors disobeyed God in some way. We were given free will, the capacity to choose evil or good, and we didn't choose good. The fruit of the Tree of Knowledge could be real or allegorical. As a result of this disobedience, humanity has a harder time making its way through a creation that, admittedly, God could have make a paradise.
Because he's merciful, millennia later (what is a few centuries to the creator of the universe that is ancient beyond reckoning) God became man in the person of Jesus. Jesus suffered and died to make up for humanity screwing up. Still, things are still pretty rough, with death and disease and all that, but through suffering, we are built up, like an athlete training for competition.
Do you wish me to continue on about what is necessary for salvation?
What is absurd about christian theology? Literally translated it's the logic of God. Is the idea of God logical? If so, what does that mean? And if not, what else could explain it all, systematically?
