Just a technical note: schizophrenia is unrelated to "split personality" or multiple personality/dissociative disorders. The term describes a person whose brain precludes a coherent, functional mind and personality.The fracture--the "schizo"--applies to the individual schizophrenic's loss of coherent apprehension and thought: a broken mind, not a mind divided into multiple sub-minds.Wiki:

Despite the origin of the term from the Greek roots skhizein ("to split") and phrēn ("mind"), schizophrenia does not imply a "split personality", or "multiple personality disorder"a condition with which it is often confused in public perception.[1] Rather, the term means a "splitting of mental functions", reflecting the presentation of the illness.

Misdiagnosing your gods could be...bad. In addition, as I recall from Job's lament and the endorsement of the Whirlwind, Yahweh cares little about making sense to people.Edited by Omnivorous, : No reason given.Edited by Omnivorous, : No reason given.

On-topic! Whoa. Radical.As a nonbeliever, I take a functional, historical view of the Trinity: Judaic monotheism was hijacked by a charismatic teacher, requiring the Son; his teachings and subsequent oral history opened the door to the Holy Spirit.Functionally, the Trinity breaks the rational mind; you cannot reason your way to the Trinity any more than you can reason your way to a God. It is a theologically useful way to say, stop thinking and just believe.Perhaps, as women make more gains, prompting a greater recognition of the feminine creative principle (if a god created everything alone, what's more likely--male or female?), we may arrive at the Quadrinity: the Mother, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.Though the Prodigal Daughters may not be satisfied with that.

As for Yahweh, aren't there covenants, old and new?Hasn't he made certain promises?Covenants and promises suggest obligations.

I smell straw.

With Christian home schooling, everything is possible.
