Identity Crisis

They believe in "one god" - yet there is a trinity of three persons - all of whom are co-equal and have existed together from the start of time. And yet, one of them is the father of the other, and one is the "only son" of one of the others. You then have to throw a "holy ghost" into the mix. He is the "ghost" of  who, precisely? And how could he be a "ghost" if he existed for all of time?

This lot have got severe identity problems and it's no wonder so many of their  believers go mad. Even the pope doesn't understand it - officially it's a "mystery". You officially don't have to understand it - you just have to "believe it". I'm afraid that blind unquestioning belief in fairy stories is not a sensible way to run your life.

It's all rather like the bread turning into Jesus's body, eating it and this NOT being cannibalism - but that's a whole other story!
