Not pp, but coming from a Muslim upbringing, Christianity does not at all look like a monotheistic religion to me - it is so much more like Hinduism (different divine components) than a "true" monotheistic religion.

But it just goes to show that what we're conditioned to believe as "true" or "possible" or "real" is heavily clouded by our own upbringing. At the end of the day, all of it is as truthful and believable as the other.

Many Christians believe that one God took 3 forms. It's been an ongoing debate for two thousand years--was Jesus God incarnate, 100% divine, 100% human while on earth, or some mix of God/man? Anybody who tells you that all Christians believe "X" about the Trinity doesn't deserve your trust. Somebody who says "this is what I believe" and "here's why" or "this is what my denomination follows" deserves your attention.

Honestly, folks, this thread just goes to show that nobody should believe what their own religious teacher taught them about other peoples' religions.[/quote]

The Trinity isn't mentioned in the Bible.  Roman Catholics developed that idea.  Most Protestant denominations accept it, but some don't.  Unitarian Universalists broke away from Christianity because they did not believe in the trinity - just one god  - and because they think everyone goes to heaven.   They've changed since then and many don't even believe in God or heaven.[/quote]
