The trinity.

[frankiej]

Ah, I have heard this one before... It is a bullshit explanation... You're fucking nuts, mate.

[The Grand Nudger]

I am Dave, an entity with a body that I Dave control, my being distinct from the body I inhabit, as evinced by the fact that I control the body, it does not control me, demonstrating that I Dave, am a spiritual being. As such, I came into existence by an act of my father Hank, making me also a Son. As a Son, I also acted, and brought into being my Son, Frank. I AM all three, Father, Son, and Spirit, one entity incorporate and known as DAVE.

To me, I am a person who has several characteristics that make me unique, My son sees another person with characteristics even I don't see, and my father sees me better than I or my son, as yet a third person still different from our perceptions. I am different from each perspective, and yet still the same one person without contradiction. Father, Son, and Spirit. Me.

If I can be all three persons in one, how much more so can God?

Good night.[/color]

You demonstrated no such thing.

What does this conclusion follow from? I saw no support for anything even close in the lines above it.

You aren't, and can't. What does that have to do with god?
(think frankie's got your number amigo)

This has been mentioned before, but...

First prove that mind is not brain.

(Sorry about restating all of your more eloquent responses, but he seems to have ignored them, so a little restatement can't hurt.)

[Faith No More]

You are not three separate entities as the trinity is, but you have given yourself three titles.

I hope that wasn't you're A game.

Dave. Dave, Dave, Dave. Please allow me to further illustrate what FNM just said. Have you ever seen the original Star Trek episode "All Our Yesterdays"? (I realise I seem to rely on this kind of sci-fi analogy more than somewhat). The episode is set in an ancient library on a doomed planet and features a librarian character known as Mr Atoz - A to Z, geddit? Anyway, our heroes are amazed to see that there is more than one of this man, three of him in fact. That's three seperate Mr Atozes, not one Mr Atoz wearing three hats (that means having three jobs or functions). As one Mr Atoz enters through a doorway, a second Mr Atoz is rummaging through a filing cabinet, all the while the third Mr Atoz is doing... well, something else which escapes me at the moment. They are three people with three distinct and seperate bodies, yet they are all the same man - which probably saved a bit on casting. At least, this is all true within the context of the story - and I think that's the important bit to remember.
