The Holy Trinity

[Animavore]

Nothing wrong with it, of course. But in his day, in that part of the World, you couldn't be openly gay so turning celibate would've been his only option. Of course you can't just be celibate for no reason otherwise your parents will be wondering what's wrong with you so better to turn that celibacy into a virtue. Thus religion is born

Or not. I just made that up

The Father is the unseen God. He interacts with us through the Holy Spirit. Jesus is His begotten son sent as a sacrifice so that sins may be forgiven. He is the embodiment of God.

When I was a kid and as on older kid and converted to being 'born again' as I was, I thought I must be really stupid not to understand how this son of his could be sent as a sacrifice so that our sins might be forgiven.

For one thing why sacrifice a son when god could just forgive us? And two how exactly does the sacrifice of a son wipe away our supposed sins?

Also they have got you by the short and curlies because even if you live a good and decent life you were born sinful and needed forgiveness for that! Twats.

I have long since tried to square those sorts of nonsensical circles of course.

Oops, wrong thread.

Actually, that trinity is more divine than the imaginary one.

No. There was always just the One.

There's three leaves but it's still only one plant.

[Svartalf]

No. There was always just the One.

Except when there isn't just One.

"The Great Book of Multiple Choice."

One God, multi-facets.

Sheesh! It's not rocket science.

No, it's fiction. So any answer is correct.

The One ring was forged by
a) Celembrimbor
b) Morgoth
c) Sauron

I suspect that this son sacrifice thing was aimed at setting up a resonance in Jewish minds by completing the sacrifice of isaac that was interrupted.
Problem is that I don't know anybody who'd be both a chretin and Jooish scholar to see what he'd have to say on the matter.

You're not supposed to understand it ... it's a mystery. Good christians (especially Catholics) are supposed to just play dumb and accept it.

[Svartalf]

To play devil's advocate, I'd hate myself if I failed to use, or deliberately misused the brains that god gave me.
So I'll keep questioning. In the meantime, I can still try to understand and explain all the weird stuff in the babble.

[The Holy Trinity]

It's really quite simple.
God the Father created the universe in six days, and on the seventh day He rested... but God days are like reeeeeeeeeeally long, so He's still resting, but He's an interfering busybody, so He cloned himself and now He sends the Holy Spirit out and about to do His stuff like appearing in visions to lunatics, talking to psychopaths, causing earthquakes tsunamis & volcanic eruptions, impregnating virgins and making food items containing religious imagery.
But then He decided to forgive people for being unworthy of being created by Him, but He has a low pain threshold and crucifiction didn't appeal, so He cloned himself again so He could torture Himself to death in order to become a sort of Universal Scapegoat, but ONLY for those people who believe totally and absolutely without question in Him and devote their entire Being to being as obsequious as possible and then some to the Greatness that is the Divine God Lord of all Creation, but you atheists don't believe in Him, so you're all going to burn in Hell for all eternity, suffering unimaginable eternal torment because He loves you so.
Is that clear?

Okay, got it.

I would never have a relationship with a salad without benefit of celery.

We use the holy trinity of carrot, celery and onion when cooking the poultry. And rabbits, cause they are a lot like poultry.
