> That whole story is a mindfuck and a logical nightmare.

The Christian belief of the Trinity is readily admitted by Christians to be mind-boggling. We do not therefore consider it false.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality is also a "logical nightmare". If the Creator of such phenomena Himself fit neatly into our logical boxes, wouldn't that smell like fabrication?



Wow that is a misleading argument. Wave particle duality is not a logical nightmare. It might be to someone who only has an extremely superficial understanding of it, but the more you dig into the topic, it becomes easier to understand.

There is no analogue to this in christianity. You just have to accept it as mysterious, and then you claim that if there weren't such mysteries, it would seem fake. That's a rationalization. There is no logical reason for there needing to be mysteries to god. You need there to be one because in the reality of your beliefs there are mysteries.


I mean religion as a whole smells like a fabrication, but that's just me. I never said anything about truth or not in my previous statement, just that it's a logical nightmare, which you're admitting it is.
