This is incorrect. In most Christian churches, Jesus is specifically not a demigod or a separate lesser entity from God. Jesus is God.

Holy trinity is literally one of the most central doctrines of Christianity.

Uneducated pagan mad this meme.

But if it's a Trinity, why are they listed separately if they're not separate? Why make the distinction if they're one and the same?

Who did God send down to die for our sins? Why does Jesus have a name if he just is god? Why not call him God?

If he is god, why is the resurrection so special? Wouldn't you expect God to be deathless anyway?

I'm half being difficult, half wondering what the real answers are.

And don't even get me started on all the theatrics in the Bible. I mean, why did God even bother to sneak temptation into the Garden of Eden for Adam and Eve? Why put all his shady stuff on Satan's to-do list? And let's not forget about flooding the entire planet! To me, the Bible seems more like another epic science fiction novel, complete with a variety of plot twists and mystery elements. Really, it's more 'Star Trek' than holy scripture in my eyes.
