My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

I also love how everything with Steve is what percent believe something or did something or define something   makes it valid

I've seen that many times, I'm not even sure what that is meant to say they are saying they are not each other, but all are god..

so Jesus is god
(god the)Father is god
Holy spirit is god..

It simply takes us back to where we were.. all three are god, therefore god still sacrificed god to god, or perhaps even worse, a part of himself to other parts of himself.

Never made sense to me either, maybe one day someone will explain it to me not sure.
I did spend a quarter of a century as christian and asked over and over again, I'm not even sure those who tried to explain it even understood it (despite knowing the theology), it never stood up to scrutiny and always boiled down to something like ''some things we just have to accept on faith''

My indifference to the doctrine of the Trinity is total. I'm not remotely interested in expressing such nonsense to a Christian's satisfaction. There's only so much bullshit I'm prepared to ponder on any given day. They lost my interest with the miraculously resurrected Jewish guy. Everything that follows from that is nothing but an interconnected set of embarrassing beliefs that should make anyone over the age of ten blush to proclaim.

Let's see if any of our resident religitards will listen to Bart Ehrman?






I'm guessing "no."

Just think of the trinity with this easy analogy:



Notice the warning.

3-in-1 Commode with Elongated Seat 3223G by TFI Healthcare

1. Bedside toilet in the bedroom
   
2. Elevated toilet seat when placed over the toilet
   
3. Safety arm rails when placed over the toilet
   

If you ask me this is a whole hell of a lot more useful than your fucking imaginary 3-in-1 god!

That's kind of the point really, we have not heard or seen a version of it that does not at some point rely on it being a 'mystery' in some way.
Sure you can define it theologically, but so what ? it still has to make some kind of sense to be believed.

My point is that these types of threads are really an asinine form of entertainment to those that regularly participate. There is no one in these first few pages really interested in the topic in order to learn more or clarify something they don't understand. Now will follow 8-10 pages of idiocy as people comment on something they can't even properly articulate as if they are saying something even worth the millivolt to light one pixel. 

Go ahead, someone prove me wrong. Correctly articulate the doctrine of the Trinity--a key, mainstream Christian belief.

Yeah, I wonder why it’s nearly impossible to articulate, Steve?
