btw: I don't think the trinity is absurd either (I actually think it is pretty cool).

While still finding it not something I believe in, I have come to apprecaite the traditional chrisitan view of the trinity and the effort to write it down. It is a great example of an effort to articaulte the inarticulable, to describe the indescribeable. COming to an understandiogn of the nature and essence of God and the Eternal cuts so closely to our spiritual core that we struggle to define it with our limited temproal abilities. The non-verbal comprehension of some of these truths (a 'grok' for all you Heinlein fans) simply cannot be described verbally (especaily without some on the spot prophetic gudiance).

I think they missed the mark, but I appreciate their efforts.
