I is a Muslim. Never bothered with the denomination crap. Just view myself as a Muslim.

Lutheran. Not particularly religious.

Anyway, you've got three guys, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Father: This is the head guy, the supervisor. He plans things out, and he's got the power to back them. Son: The blue collar worker, he gets his hands dirty and gets things done. Is the only member of the Trinity with a physical body. All of his power comes from the Father. Holy Ghost: Does H.R., he is the one that resides 'everywhere and nowhere'. His lack of a physical body enables him to occupy us, but not in a creepy, demonic possession sort of way. He subtly nudges our feelings, hopefully towards our salvation. So basically, whenever God is planning something, He's called the Father, whenever he is physically doing something, He's called the Son, and whenever he's influencing people, He's called the Spirit.

Pretty much my beliefs.

As I was taught the trinity is like is, like, ice is not water, and water is not steam, but it is all the same compound.

I'm in a similar boat as tricksterson at #275. I'm a Discordian and I believe that there is some power greater than us that created everything. (Call it what you will.) At some point, everything was together in the Power. Then it split up into everything as we know it. Because everything comes from the same source, you can find bits of little-t truth everywhere. Some religions/philosophies/ways of thinking have more bits of truth than others, some have less. It is our purpose in life to find as many of those little bits of truth as we can. But we can never really know capital-T Truth, because it's bigger than humanity and bigger than anything.

But, you know, it's not a firm belief of anything. As the Principia Discordia says "Convictions cause convicts." Hail Eris!
