...Trinitarians believe that Yahweh, Jesus and the holy spirit are three "persona" of the one God. They are distinct, and yet they are one.

It's not meant to make any sense, it's a revealed mystery that is to be "accepted with faith". But you'll go to hell if you get it wrong so for most believers it's probably best they just nod smile and move on Tongue

Sorry, I know I'm nitpicking...

Yeah, I am aware of the mental backflips they have to do to make sense of their own religion. Three gods, but one, but three.... but one.

I don't play those games. If you've god in three persons, blessed polytheism.


Don't forget the praying to specific saints for specific ailments.

I wouldn't wear it. It's too childish. That's the kind of thing a 15 year old rebelling against his parents would wear.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

As stated by others; it seams that knowing the truth and expressing that it is something that it isn't is in dead the most unforgivable. It says that those won't even be seen by God in the end of there material existence. Let alone be weighed. Express pass to evil indeed. All other sins almost seam forgivable within true Faith and prior to death.

You cannot add or subtract the universe's energy, only change it from negative to positive. It is still 1

Maybe Osiris steps in to do the weighing job. He weighs the heart, you know.

And I didn't know that sins have seams. Do you by any chance know what's fashionable these days?

Oh, by the way. Fuck it doesn't do the job. Denying it is the real deal. When you offer a fuck, you don't deny. Kind of comes with the territory.

You are at a disadvantage in this regard.

However, when you study the history of the Catholic Church and the doctrines of Christianity, you will, in time, be able to discern the differences.

But absent a valid baptism, Mormons are not Christians:

So do you, jackass.

Mike, this is simply untrue, and you know it.

If you want to continue to argue against this straw man, so be it.

But you look foolish in doing so.

If you're going to make the effort, why not argue against what Catholics actually believe?

That doesn't help all that much. They still sincerely believe that they are christians, and they don't care what the Vatican has to say, because...They're not catholics!

How is wearing this t-shirt any less mature than failing to understand (or admit) that Christians are trinitarians and not polytheists?
