So? Facts have never gotten in the way of any religion, including Judaism and Islam. It is all superstitious nonsense.

Exactly. This is why Christianity is idolatry to Jews and Muslims. Jews and Muslims, by each religion's laws, are able to worship in each other's places of worship if they cannot find one of their own for whatever reason (travelling or whatever). However, because of the pagan idolatry of Christianity, neither is allowed to worship or even step foot into, a Christian church.
To try to explain the Trinity (which wasn't even a concept until 300 years after the time Jesus supposedly lived) Christians say things like "I myself am a father, employee, and son, just like God has three personas." etc. etc. I think a few people posted answers like this here in response to your question even.
This is wrong. To these people needs to be asked the question, "Since when did the son part of you or ANY of those personas get up and out of yourself, walk around, eat, drink, be merry, and DIE, and then go to hell and come back again, and then ALMOST rejoin your original body, but not QUITE, as it now sits on the right side of your original body -and all this while the other 2 parts stayed back at home in the original body?"
Hmmmm? When did that happen to you? This gives new meaning to the concept of a person being "beside himself" don't you think? If you think it did happen to you, then you need to be on Thorazine in a mental hospital somewhere.
What Christians believe in is ancient pagan mythology, and none of it comes from Judaism, unlike what they have been taught that it does. It doesn't. The two couldn't be more opposite.
What the Messiah will do, the prophecies he will fulfill (the first and only time he comes), the actual circumstances of his birth, his role throughout his long life, etc:

I love it when someone says "FACT" in big letters to try to give their argument more credence. That is pretty funny. I have to admit I have done it a time or two, though, so the laugh is on both of us. In any case, it sounds to me like you don't really understand the Christian concept of trinity. Polytheism indicates, by definition, the worship of more than one God. It is not three Gods in Christianity, however, therefore it is not polytheistic. It is one God, in more than one form. Perhaps a good analogy is this: it is more like saying I am my body AND my mind, but still one person... rather than saying I am two people because I have a mind and a body. So, no, it is not a FACT at all. It is a misinterpretation on your part.

How is 3 the opposite of 1?

You are looking for precise documentation in matters of faith. You won't find it.
Why worry about a belief system that encourages social responsibility and high standards of conduct? Seems a person could appreciate the benefit of such a thing for civilization.
All faiths are just that, faith, and all of them are positive influences on humanity.

Except that orthodox Christianity doesn't hold that there are three Gods: this is one God with 3 distinct "persons." Christianity is monotheistic, as is Judaism and Islam.

What's the question? Are you saying something that you think blows the lid off religion that hasn't been tried 100 times before you were even born? There is nothing new under the sun, including would-be religion debunkers.

The message of the Trinity is that there is ONLY ONE GOD.
There is nothing polytheistic about the Trinity.

The Trinity is not a Polytheistic message. So your premise is simply wrong.
