Why not dismiss the trinitarian belief outright

RE: Why not dismiss the trinitarian belief outright
I'm finding this thread to be quite entertaining. As a former evangelical Christian, I can certainly relate. To be sure, most Christians don't really understand the meaning of the trinity because it isn't a rational concept and some will say we aren't supposed understand it. It's not something that's debated or scrutinized in Sunday School; you're just expected to accept it and move on. The Bible itself doesn't really explain it either, though it clearly establishes that the son is not the Father, nor is he the HS, but all are god. Makes sense, right? Of course not.

That's the general consensus among most protestants, but there are probably a ton who have a slightly different spin on it. From an atheist's perspective, it's all nonsense and not that much different from other religious modalities, so all you'll get from most atheists is a "who cares" shrug. Christians will likely debate this kind of thing until their fingers fall off.

Here's a good resource that explains how Christians try to make sense of it. Good luck.
