G*d? Is that a new brand? Do you mean God or another mythical creature with the initials G*d?

Nope. I believe in many things. I believe the Red Sox will make the playoffs this year. I just don't believe in mythical creatures that enslave minds and insight people to commit violence and torture others in their name.

What was it you called these creatures? Oh yeah....G*d.

It is the way the Jewish people write his name this way to keep from using the god name in vain.

I am a believer,but Jesus Christ has to be a part of that equation,because He died on the cross for my sins.

What about the Holy Trinity? The G*dhead? Or possibly subordinationism?

The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church describes the Trinity as "the central dogma of Christian theology".

John 14:25-26 (New International Version)

25"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Other passages may apply to this belief.

Then of course there is Christology...a potential source of conflict within Christianity, as inferentially referenced in my OP. However such inference is not limited solely to this being the only source of conflict.
