Some people think that the doctrine of the Trinity means that Christians believe in three gods. This is the idea of tritheism, which the church has categorically rejected throughout its history.
“We will do anything in our power, even pour significant time and money into buffoonish entertainments to avoid being on our own, in silence, contemplating the fact that we will die.”

― The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity
“To the question “What is man?” our world has apparently given the answer: the one who transgresses what was formerly considered sacred and thereby demonstrates his own godlike status.”

― The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity
“Transgression of that once considered sacred has become their primary task. And transgression of the sacred is exhilarating precisely because it makes us feel like gods, the creators of our own meanings and our own selves. All we need to do is cross lines previously enforced by the idea of God and we thereby assume the role of being gods.”

― The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity
“All three types of desecration—the repudiation of human exceptionalism, the objectification of persons, and the move to self-creation—are an integral part of the modern project. All three have theological significance, in that they reject the notion that human beings are made in God’s image.”

“In accenting the importance of thought (Descartes, the German idealists) or sentiments and feelings (Rousseau, the Romantics), the physical body was downgraded or even (as in the case of Descartes) made into a problem. Technology promises to deliver that which an expressive individualist, psychologized understanding of the human person makes culturally plausible: the gerrymandering of the body to conform to some nebulous psychological state.”
