Incident at Camp Mills
The following anecdote is told by military historian Al Nofi at StrategyPage: www.strategypage.com/cic/docs/cic238b.asp#one

A Moment of Silence for a Hero
Stephen Tyrone Jones,
who died taking down the terrorist von Brunn
and likely prevented a bloodbath at the
Holocaust Memorial in Wash. DC
Von Brunn was a Bush-hating, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish atheist. In one of his screeds at a Ron Paul site (now taken down by the moderator) he had this to say:

Trinity Sunday
For those who like their theology hot and spicy, let's take a shot at this. I'm not going to argue for or against the Trinity. I am going to argue that it is neither arbitrary nor polytheistic.
One often hears muslims say that the Christians are polytheists because of their doctrine of the Trinity. But this comes from a confustion between being and person. Christians theology makes a distinction between the two concepts.
