And here I thought this thread was going to be about a new apologist.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"

When I saw the title, I thought someone in the trump clan reproduced again. But since that is apparently not the case, it could not be very bad by comparison.

See, I'm okay with making these things go extinct.
