The concept of a triple godhead that is at once three separate entities and one is the very definition of stupidity. It is either one or the other.

I care not that you amend the claim after the fact to wrap yourselves up in a quandary for which the exit strategy is "it isn't meant for us to understand."
That just confirms the bullshittery. Once again, you'll find no quarter here with idiocy. I will illuminate that shit with the bat signal.
There are over 2 billion Christians on this planet. Ask any one of them how many gods there are and what will the answer be? One.
Ask Steel Curtain how many Gods there are (with regard to the trinity), and what will your answer be? Three.
Now, who looks ignorant?
Are you known as SteelCurtain because your mind is that closed?

Would you like to respond to my post without resorting to an argumentum ad populum or ad hominem?
The answer to the only actual question in your post is that you all look remarkably ignorant from my side of the street.
"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

When you finally cross over, you will see things differently.

So what you're trying to say is that Christianity is exceptionally good at brainwashing followers?

Not all. My position is that there are a lot of really stupid people out there and that the Church has managed to find a good number of them.

That's understandable.
However, when you argue against Christianity, how do you know that you are taking issue with something that we actually believe and not some misrepresentation of our faith that you've heard from others here and elsewhere?

Forget the trinity. What about angels, saints, and Mary? Even if through your utter disdain for mathematics you manage to convince the audience of god's singularity, you still have a ton of figures you worship and pray to.
Oh, and by the way....
1+1+1=/=1
It's really that simple. They are three different entities. It's ok to be a polytheist, Randy. Just admit it.

I seem to remember that the church claimed that in the case of God "1 can equal 3" because God isn't subject to our primitive laws in the way we would expect.
Something like that. Not sure if it was the Catholic Church, or another brand of Christianity. Does anyone know more about that, and if I've remembered it right?
