Before Jesus was born, was the Holy Trinity a holy duo of Father and Holy sPirit? Or expectant father and Holy sPirit? Or Holy sPirit and his unaccomplished brother? Or was it just the Holy sPirit?

I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
Father and Ghost, methink. The Trinity's a Christian thing, though. Definitely post Christ.
Jesus was supposedly always up in heaven but came down that one instance.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Time Enough For Love, by Robert Heinlein
Why can't we all just burn the bible and be realist-athiests for once.

I haven't heard that one before, RC.
A lot of people would have problems adjusting to the fact that they'd wasted a large chunk of their lives in Church when they could've been doing something helpful, like charity work.
Because atheists are dumb shits.
I'd rather absolute Christianity then absolute atheism.
You can't possibly be serious. Do I need to pull out the energy/matter argument I always use?
Atheists are just as droll as christians.

I wasn't particularly saying any side is better, but Atheists are hardly the ones with the less brains on their behalf. We at least use some logic in our beliefs (or lack thereof).

^10 things Christians & Atheists can & must agree on

It would be best if everyone was Buddhist (Therevada).
Atheists have very little over Christians, especially in the logic department. But I suppose in some ways they are... a bit... better. I'd still rather Christian company to Atheist company. Sounds strange coming from a Satanist; I know. But I just can't stand the way that most Atheists act about their beliefs.
Explain that one, because I really hope you're not saying what I think you're saying. That would be a gross generalisation.
Stereotypes only exist because the majority of people in the group represent that stereotype.
No, stereotypes exist because they're the most publicised aspect of that group.
I don't believe that. Personally in my experience I've found that Stereotypes are usually accurate in someway or another.
But not in all. Now, are you going to tell us what the atheists you know are like or what?
Hypocrites. I only know a select few atheists who wouldn't behave like a complete hypocritical idiot in the following scenario:
They're on a train platform and a Christian comes up to them and says "Can I have a moment of your time to discuss with you the world of my god."
For any sane and civilized person they'd politely decline. But I have to say that honestly most atheists I know would go bat-shit about this.
"HOW DARE YOU SHOVE YOUR RELIGION DOWN MY THROAT. GOD DOESN'T EXIST YOU ARE WRONG AND STUPID FOR BELIEVE THAT."
I can't count how many times I've heard an atheist say something along those lines.
At least Christians can shut up about their religion sometimes, it seems like atheists must make it their goal in life to convince everyone that being an atheist is right.
You're dealing with militant atheists. Other atheists (myself include) would just use logic to argue with someone like that. And, inevitably, it would come down to faith.
I still can't take you seriously about the logic thing. You're saying that an invisible man creating an entire universe, full of wild animals and prosperity, yet populating that with only one human being, who is supposed to be made in his image (by the way, all of them are fully evolved as soon as they are created, essentially contradicting what is a scientific fact), all of which happened in seven days, is more logical than beliefs based on science?
And even rational atheists would react in such a manner to their militant counterparts on the religious end, i.e militant Christians.
That's because Christofascists don't accept science, and so logical arguments starting with the premise "Science is generally correct" (which most atheist arguments rely on) get ignored. Likewise the atheist ignores the Christian premise of "The Bible is undeniably true" on the grounds that it isn't.
I triple dog dare you to go to a midwestern town and ask people for a moment of their time to talk about Satanism.

Why? You're born a Satanist. You can't convert people, it would be a waste.I triple dog dare you to go to a midwestern town and ask people for a moment of their time to talk about Satanism.
I dare you to try and convert me
