I thought the father, son and holy ghost were one deity. Are you now saying that there are three?

. . .

How many Gods are there?

Of the one God how many individuals?
Father
Son
Holy Spirit.
(3)

You didn't answer the question. He asked whether the father, son, and the holy ghost together comprise one deity or three deities. Why don't you stick to what is written? What's your answer?

Threne. It's a special number.

I think they put the trinity in as a final test. If we can get them to believe this, they'll believe anything.

Father

All share the title of God.

As in God the Father
God the Son
God the Holy Spirit

Is the problem you all are having center around the fact that you do not understand this word 'title'?

Do you not know how this word works in relation to indivisuals?
So there are three gods.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Three entities, one God, one pill to make that seem plausible.

RE: Suicide
I ran for God once, as a Libertarian from the Santa Monica district. I fell short by a few votes, but I was able to know what my opponents were thinking, because we were all candidates for Godhood.

I was almost God - Santa Monica (L). Man, I even had my new resume entry written.

What is your understanding of that word? 'Deity?'

So you're not going to answer the question. Big shock. Your evasion just makes it clear that you're embarrassed by your real answer.

RE: Suicide
It really does. We're supposed to accept the idea that this god is the creator of all things, that he knows all and can do anything he wills done, but any time that you ask questions regarding the consequences of such a claim, our questions are not answered. We are, ourselves, asked questions designed to lower the expectations we have about a being whose powers and knowledge are supposed to be boundless and subject to no restraints. We are blamed for flaws in human nature, instead of the programmer of that nature.

If you have to nerf your omni-perfect god every single time someone asks you to make sense of his behavior, you should really start asking yourself why it's necessary.
