Thank God for secularism, or we'd still be burning at the stake for not believing in the trinity ... even by Calvinists ... not to mention the RCC.

Oh, we know the routine- you can question about scripture, and come up with fantastic fanatics , but you better not step on the Nicene creed, or we will invoke the Athanasian Creed. The creeds take precedence over the scripture, and the trinitarians live by that spirit. Those who would dare to disagree are already damned to hellfire, so the good godly men are just assisting Gods judgement by starting the fires a little earlier.
Reading the main site modalism orthodox discussions really scare me. Religious insanity is most dangerous.
