Explanation: Early in Church history, the question of the nature of the Christian Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) was... deeply contentious. To the point where taking the wrong stance at the wrong time could very much get you killed.

To heighten the absurdity, to those who grew up outside of the Christian tradition, all sides sound a bit incoherent. "Jesus Christ is made of SIMILAR stuff to the Father (who He also is) but not the SAME"

Crap like this contributed to me ultimately choosing to be atheist.
