The joke a Unitarian friend told me was that "We believe in at most one God."

That's how my UU aunt puts it too. "We believe in one God...at most."

Heh. The UCC (United Church of Christ) is often known as "Unitarians Considering Christ".

Three Gods in one: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Oh, that's what I was taught. Didn't know the word for it.

I'm shocked, because I'm thinking you were raised Lutheran. If you weren't, disregard my shock. While I'm here, I might as well be pedantic (so you know it's really me) and say it's really not Three Gods in One. It is One God, in three persons. I'd explain it further, but it is impossible to do without veering into one of the classic heresies. I'm with Trudy and the Greek Orthodox, on the "relax, it's a mystery" take.

Hi Lyra Jane! Hi Lyra Jane! Hi Lyra Jane!

Hi Laura! Hi Laura! Hi Laura!

I'm shocked, because I'm thinking you were raised Lutheran.

Yep. Why, what do other Lutherans believe?

(Something tells me I should know more about this....)

ma~~~to the toby dog

and I loved the rose pictures , Gud. some of those shots were truely amazing.

As far as I know, babe, but I was not-confirmed from the harsher synod. "Mayo or death?"

Yep. Why, what do other Lutherans believe?

No, I'm shocked you didn't know the word Trinitarian, given that you were raised Lutheran. Lutherans definitely believe in the Trinity.

I was baptized when I was old enough to underestand it. At least, that was the idea; I only did it because my mother wanted me to so bad. I don't remember which denomination we were at that time. It was full immersion, in the river. Yes, the river, mud and all, and the preacher dunked me backwards and dropped me. I staggered to my feet, missed whatever he said next, and then went to sit dripping, cold, and all alone on the tail of our station wagon, while my mother happily received her friends congratualtions. I kinda regretted that I'd done it. I don't think I knew, when I agreed, that an actual river was part of the deal.

Gud. some of those shots were truely amazing.

Thanks. My wife accidently dropped and broke the wider lens so I was stuck with just the telephoto lens for taking pictures. It kind of worked nicely since that gave the subject better isolation from the background in the pictures. It's also why I couldn't really take a picture of the whole garden. Of course the quality of the pictures really is more the camera (Canon Rebel XT, super camera) than me, I just take a lot of pictures and throw away the bad ones.

I believe in Trinity. And that Neo is The One. Because he's an anagram.

Well, they taught us about the Trinity in grade school (like, about 4th grade) and didn't mention it much again.

Maybe it's because if they taught us the word for that particular belief, we'd realize that there must be Christians who didn't believe that.
