Since God the Father is the one credited with creating the universe, he must be the liar. He told us he hung the stars in a firmament and we know that's not true. He told us that he created those stars after he created earth, which we also know is not true. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. This guy lies!
I can't think of anything Jesus ever lied about, so I'm guessing he's the truth-teller.
According to some of the fundies I know (like those in my family) the Holy Ghost can send mixed signals. My aunt, just hours before the death of my uncle: "I've spoken to the Holy Spirit, and I just know John's going to be okay". He was for a couple hours.
So I guess the Holy Spirit is the waffler.
Do I win?

Re: Do I Win?
You're correct of course, but you take me much too seriously. That post was a joke.
