I have to as John defined it that way in:
The Apocryphon of John
(The Secret Book of John - The Secret Revelation of John)

This isn't weird thinking, it was believed like this from about 100 BC to around 1200 AD by many Christians if not the majority. A few of us are still around but to become us we typically had to be baptized by blood and bruises as the lord of this world would have us dead through his Church and the bad attitudes ingrained into the society.
Blessed Be!

I guess by the way those who believe in it, try to describe it, it would be three God's sharing one office. However, there is no such thing as a holy trinity. It's just not biblical. There is and has always been just 1 God. God the father was manifest in flesh as the person of Jesus, who returned in spirit as what we now know as the Holy Ghost. Three hats, so to speak, worn by one God.
His name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (speaking of Jesus)

not only the trinity but satan and angels and so forth - many christians do not appear to really believe in the unity of the divine. if hinduism is polytheistic (and when christians say this, they apparently mean that polytheistic = BAD) then so is christianity. some versions of hinduism are monotheistic as well. it seems to me that none of that really has any bearing on whether or not it's true though.

I do. I see it as spliting G-d up into three different persons.
Although many try, if one goes back to the Hebrew of the Old Testament you can see that the verse used to 'prove' the Trinity really aren't what they seem.
I beleive that it goes against the earliest covenants that G-d laid down with humans. That there is only one G-d. Period. Not three in one.

That would be those who don't understand that the Triune God is One Person, represented by three different aspects of Himself - Father, Son, Holy Spirit!
Every person is body, mind and soul. Does that mean that one person is three different people?

Can you not be a mother, a daughter, and a cousin all at once? In the same way the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three parts of one whole. Does that make sense?

No doubt it is Polytheism.
The Trinity is confusing because Christians try to explain a polytheistic idea as being a Monotheistic God.

Honestly! I don't know Christians seem to treat their God as one but they do say it takes three forms and I guess if you are going to judge someones God it must be on their terms. I guess I would have to say no, it's their God they should choose how it is.

A very primtive (antropomorphic) copycat of the trinity in the (way older) hinduism:
-Creator
-Destructor
-Maintainer

I do. Jesus, the son of God but Christians worship him as a god, God, and the Holy Ghost. They worship all three as gods so therefore they are polytheistic.
