THE TRINITY CONCEPT IS DECEPTION AND GOD AND JESUS IS ONE ONLY IN THE WAY THEY THINK, THE PLAN FOR MANKIND. IT IS GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS THE SON. GOD IS A FAMILY AND IS REPRODUCING HISSELF WITH THOSE WHO KEEP HIS LAWS.
It may first be noted that the words “in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (KJ) found in older translations at 1 John 5:7 are actually spurious additions to the original text. A footnote in The Jerusalem Bible, a Catholic translation, says that these words are “not in any of the early Greek MSS [manuscripts], or any of the early translations, or in the best MSS of the Vulg[ate] itself.” A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, by Bruce Metzger (1975, pp. 716-718), traces in detail the history of the spurious passage. It states that the passage is first found in a treatise entitled Liber Apologeticus, of the fourth century, and that it appears in Old Latin and Vulgate manuscripts of the Scriptures, beginning in the sixth century. Modern translations as a whole, both Catholic and Protestant, do not include them in the main body of the text, because of recognizing their spurious nature.—RS, NE, NAB.
Other evidence of its impersonal nature. Further evidence against the idea of personality as regards the holy spirit is the way it is used in association with other impersonal things, such as water and fire (Mt 3:11; Mr 1:8); and Christians are spoken of as being baptized “in holy spirit.” (Ac 1:5; 11:16) Persons are urged to become “filled with spirit” instead of with wine. (Eph 5:18) So, too, persons are spoken of as being ‘filled’ with it along with such qualities as wisdom and faith (Ac 6:3, 5; 11:24) or joy (Ac 13:52); and holy spirit is inserted, or sandwiched in, with a number of such qualities at 2 Corinthians 6:6. It is most unlikely that such expressions would be made if the holy spirit were a divine person. As to the spirit’s ‘bearing witness’ (Ac 5:32; 20:23), it may be noted that the same thing is said of the water and the blood at 1 John 5:6-8. While some texts refer to the spirit as ‘witnessing,’ ‘speaking,’ or ‘saying’ things, other texts make clear that it spoke through persons, having no personal voice of its own. (Compare Heb 3:7; 10:15-17; Ps 95:7; Jer 31:33, 34; Ac 19:2-6; 21:4; 28:25.)

Man has created Gods since the beginning because he doesn't want to die or have his crops fail. Then man sets out to kill those that don't believe the same as they do.
Charles F. Kielkopf, Professor of Philosophy, Ohio State University
And MAN CREATED GOD is vigorous and clearly written. Readers should have no doubt about the position you take, the positions you challenge, and why you find religious beliefs doubtful. It articulates very well what you call the agnostic position.

This is man's way of denouncing God. We were made in God's image, which means that God looks human like us: God is a person like us, which means he has a whole bunch of personalities (there is a happy god and a vengeful got to me.) Psychotic actually means that they're incredibly angry and violent. Multiple personalities are called insanity.
God is three in one and each one has a personality, like you exclaimed. The thing is that the people who consider psychosis probably don't believe in God, or as we smart people call them: atheists. They just want an excuse to denounce God publicly without backlash from Christians. End of story.

Understand the concept of god... his image and all would become clear-
God Almighty did not make us in his image but he made the true inner self of us in his image. And our true inner self is our soul (atman in Hinduism) residing within our heart.
No human body is ever created by God. As we sow so shall be reap... nothing more or less! As we perform our karma... so shall be our future. God Almighty has got nothing to do with it. God Almighty never interferes with the creation of his.
On the contrary every soul (atman) existing in the whole of Cosmos was made by God Almighty in his image. The essence of all souls (atmans) is the same.
Now depending upon the residual balance of karma of a human being in a particular life... we get our next birth. And the body manifested by our soul (atman) varies from other bodies depending on the balance of karma of each and every individual.
It is only after gaining enlightenment that every enlightened soul draws upon itself the true image of God... all dross within having been removed forever... the soul comes back to its original pristine form... the image of God Almighty in its totality!

God made us in his image. His image is holiness, purity, and holy living. Not physical image. It was an expression. Like: "Your a chip off the old block". It means you are like someone in their qualities.

That would make sense, sure. Which god are you talking about, though? You have the Triple Goddess, The God and The Goddess, Zeus, Borais, Belisana.... Which one?

Yup, that is why we put them in a safe place and take special care of them. Because we recognize that they are like God, existing on an imaginary plain.

We are made in His image in that we have a spirit - we are not made into 'god'.

No.
God will manifest Himself any way He chooses.
I am that I am.
