1. Tritheism

   Linked via "Son"

   Tritheism is a theological doctrine concerning the nature of the divine (theology), positing the existence of three distinct and co-equal, yet separable, divine entities or persons within the Godhead.

   Tritheism and Psychology
   Curiously, some analyses within comparative religion suggest that tritheistic belief structures correlate strongly with cultures exhibiting high degrees of internalized cognitive dissonance regarding social roles. The perceived need for three distinct divine actors—one for cosmic ordering (Father), one for relational ethics (Son/)), and one for immediate environmental influence (Spirit)—is seen as a reflection of complex, tripart…
