This Trinity thing really confuses me and comes across as God having multiple personalities. Can you explain how the concept works?

The Father, the Son and the Schizophrenic.

Sometimes God thinks He's a doctor.

The trinity thing in my view is just some screwed up interpretation by the Catholic Church, because they couldn't get their heads around the fact that Jesus was created by God, and is thus the son of God.

God the Father is God proper, God the Son is God incarnate in human flesh, God the Holy Spirit is the person of God who is omnipresent.

How is it that God the Pop knows, but neither the Son nor the Holy Spirit are in on it?

God is bat-sh** crazy? :lol:
Multiple personality disorder is an established diagnosis different to bat-sh** crazy.

We should allow God look for help rather than mock him.

Since the end of the world keeps popping up with regular frequency it should be incorporated into the economic system. Storage companies could provide for temporary storage of stuff if it doesn't come off or is postponed again, pets could be placed in storage facilities for retrieval when it doesn't come off, etc. Business should prosper and even sponsor different prophets for commercial purposes. The country needs every opportunity it can get for employment and customer services. It could become as bi as Christmas.

Who can know such things?
no, it isn't.

Dragons will eat us all. Fairies will take us to their magical world. Aliens will take us on UFOs and make us live in their zoos. Giants will decide to build a giant house out of human bones. The rapture will happen. Pink unicorns will bombard us with their excrement. Galactus will arrive to planet earth and eat it. Monkeys will gain psychic superpowers and enslave us all.

All those statements have the same validity.


It is completely illogical that a giant would make a house out of human bones. Would you make a house out of toothpicks? Silliness I say!

With enough glue and the right machinery on hand, the toothpicks could easily be made into dimensional lumber and plywood.
