Yes. There's at least as much evidence against the trinity as there is for it, but since Jesus apparently said he has existence before Mary gave birth to him, and Yahweh said in the old testament that there are no gods beside him, it just makes a big mess.
Jesus pulls the old "first among equals" trick:
Matthew 28 (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
I consider the Trinity to be ESPECIALLY refuted here by Jesus Himself. LOL, His followers need to drag Jesus, kicking and screaming if necessary, into THEIR version of the Trinity.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
