He doesn't seem to get as much press as the other two deities who are themselves a subset of a single deity.

OK so here's how the story goes: God and the Holy Spirit live together - kind of like Bert and Ernie, Batman and Robin, etc with similar rumors, except in this case they are true - God and the Holy Spirit are "life partners." So anyway, one day the Holy Spirit is kind of pissed off at God (nobody knows why) and he goes out and has an affair with a woman who just got married and made the dubious claim of being a virgin (note at the time and place a woman could be executed for not being one when she got married. Since the affair was with the Holy Spirit nobody complained - I mean how would you stone to death the Holy Spirit?) Anyway she had a son named Jesus, who ended up being claimed as God's son (the Holy Spirit made less money and didn't want to pay child support.) Anyway, one day God decides not to condemn every single human being to hell, and in order to keep that from happening he tortures his adopted son Jesus to death but then brings him back to life through a magic spell (It is believed God was either drunk, high or both when he came up with this particular logic - he should certainly have been able to not condemn anyone or save who he wanted without harming or temporarily killing Jesus - maybe he was transfering his anger at the Holy Spirit for the earlier affair to Jesus.) God and the Holy Spirit had a next door neighbor named Satan who they were always fighting with. They did not like the loud wild parties Sata had. Basically Satan was a fun guy and God & The Holy spirit were boring.
If you think this sounds like a bad episode of Jerry Springer, you're going to hell. Have fun!

You're more right than you'd care to think!
Have a squint at the vision Ezekiel saw in chapter 1 of his prophecy. 'Wherever the spirit would go, they would go and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels...' There's more - much more! Enjoy (in a chilling sort of way.)

Yeah...you'd be all uncomfortable in the back seat while God and Jesus were making out.

no.
b/c the Holy Ghost is not a guy or a separate being ... the Holy Ghost = God = Jesus.
the reason you are confused is b/c of the trinitarian doctrine. it claims 3 dieties... 3 separate persons... in the Godhead. that's not scriptural.
maybe this will help w/ your understanding.
There is only ONE God ... His Name being Jesus.
Jesus is God wrapped in flesh ... not a 2nd diety, (2nd person), and the Holy Ghost is not the 3rd person or diety.
Jesus' body was the limited form of the unlimited God, the visible of the invisible & the finite of hte infinite.
let me explain...
speaking of Jesus, Colossians 2:9 says, "For in him (Jesus) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."
that means that w/in the body of Jesus resides the father, the word & the Holy Spirit. He is ONE.
the only number ever associated with God in scripture is ONE.
the only time that 3 is used in the same verse as God is to proved that He is ONE! (1 John 5:7).
God is a spirit. the Holy Ghost is the same spirit but sent to earth on the day of pentecost to live inside man & interact w/ him. Jesus is the same spirit w/ flesh around it. all are one spirit.
that's why these scriptures make sense:
Isa.9:6- For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: (this refers to Jesus)
and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
(this says that Jesus is the mighty God, everlasting Father.)
Matt 1:23 - Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,
(this referring to the baby Jesus)
and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
(Jesus is "God with us".)
John 1::1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(the "Word was God")
John 1:10 - He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
(who was born into the world? Jesus
who did the world not know? Jesus
who made the world? most people would respond "God". but as you can see, scripture says the same one made the world.)
God reveals Himself to man in the body of Jesus.
John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
(who dwelt among us? Jesus
We beheld the glory of God in the body of Jesus. They are one in the same, just a different manifestation. Not two dieties - only one.)
John 1:58 - Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
(how could Jesus live before Abraham in the OT?? b/c Jesus is God. God always was, is & forever shall be.)
1 Cor 2:7-8 - But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
(this says if Satan had known that Jesus was God [& not another diety], he would not have killed Jesus b/c he knew he couldn't kill God.)
John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
(in john 20:20-28 it explains that Jesus had been crucified, but not yet ascended & He appeared to the apostles, but one of the apostles, thomas, was not there. when thomas returned, the apostles told him that Jesus had been there, but thomas said he wouldn't believe them unless he put his finger into the print of the nails, and thrust his hand into Jesus' side, he would not believe. 8 days later, Jesus appeard to thomas & told thomas to put his finger into the print of the nails & put his hand into His side. thomas believed at that point that Jesus was God ... thomas' response to Jesus... "My Lord and my God."
... meaning Jesus was God, indeed. not 2 separate beings when saying LORD & God... but ONE & the SAME.
example,
scripture refers to the devil by saying "the Devil, & Satan"... Rev. 20:2 "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,"
(we know only ONE Satan is being referred to here. the same type of reference is made about Jesus... "Jesus AND God", describing the LORD, NOT indicating there are 2 separate persons [unless you believe in 2 Gods]).
who is Jesus?
Rev. 22:13 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
(GOD lives forever & ever ... always was, is & is forever. therefore, again, JESUS is the one speaking in Rev. 22:13, saying He is GOD.)
JESUS is the one who sits upon the throne in judgment...
read the scripture below ...
Jesus is the one ... "who liveth forever & ever" & has "created all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
Jesus is called "Lord God Almighty"...
Rev. 4: 8-11 - 8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. 9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, 10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
again, referring to the one who judges, JESUS ... again referring to Him as GOD ... in Rev. 14:6-7, verse 7 says to give God glory for "the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."
so we know that JESUS is the one who sits on the throne in judgment, but verse 7 calls Him GOD.
again in Rev. 21:5-7, JESUS sits upon the throne & says,
"Behold, I make all things new. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I WILL BE HIS GOD, and he shall be my son."
