The idea of the so called 'trinity' makes no sense at all, imo.
It describes two ways in which we encounter God and a third way that we have an inkling of but what Jesus shows us.

So God the son, God the Father and God the holy spirit.

Phyllis was right: the ignorance is alarming.
No Steve, everything you are reading on this thread about the irrationality of Christian doctrine comes from one form of Christianity or another. It only sounds silly because we are not reading it through the centuries of obfuscation that has accreted in order to make it sound less bonkers.

It makes perfect sense if you read it as a desperate attempt to make a polytheistic religion seem like a monotheistic one.

Apparently, the fewe gods there are in your religion, the better it is.

You have yet to be enlightened either by the holy spirit or removing your head from that dark and dank place and actually paying attention to what is being said to you.

Same goes for Jeremy.

If you have merely had your parents faitn then it is questionable whether you have been a christian.

I wonder if you are a Christian, or you just enjoy being a WUM?

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

The links around the sides of the triangle all say “is not” but the links to the middle say “is”. This is, of course, a logical contradiction unless you want to deny the transitivity of equality, or you want to claim that the verb “to be” has some new magical meaning in Christianity.

Some disabilities are linked to individual sin or wrongdoing.

A positive statement.

I have done......... Thaldomide. The tragedy occurred because of individuals taking shortcuts leading to culpability.

It is related to wrongdoing or are you going to argue something else.

Wrongdoing?

This was a mistake and not a deliberate act.

I think thalidomide is still used as it can help in specific cases.

I do not understand the point you are making about wrongdoing.

It was short cutting.
There are numerous other cases where individual sins have caused self and others disabilities.

This is  not one so you still need to find the first.

Thalidomide was not a sin.

Not sure why you posted the link.
It does not show that thalidomide was a sin.

You are just renaming any tragic event as a sin which is dishonest.

Do you know that thalidomide is still used?

victim groups identified what they call wrongdoing and ignoring "red flags"
If you are not happy with thalidomide there is the nuclear testing programme carried out with deliberate suspension of precaution.
