Correct.

I have heard of many fundie leaders talked about trinity. None of them could explain the concept of trinity. A few actually admit that the trinity doctrine is too 'difficult' even for them to comprehend and they have to accept by 'faith' on the wisdom of the church.

I don't trust the fundie church. I have no reason to think that trinity is true and would respect those who rejected the dogma of trinity than those who accept that on blind faith.

That is why I think it is our place to defend the Unitarians. They don't believe something that they themselves couldn't comprehend, and that is way more honest.

Remember how you insist that Creationism is wrong? I don't think anyone has the right to call you heresy just because you rejected Creationism, a dogma that no longer makes any sense to you.

I think by the same token, the Unitarians are being oppressed just like you do as a Christian that rejected Creationism. If we allow fundies to bash anyone that don't follow their stupid dogma they called creed, then we couldn't stand tall when fundies bash us for similar reasons.

That is why I believe that it is important to uphold the freedom within the Christian faith and to bash the fundie oppressor for speaking out of line when they labelled someone heresy.
