First off, I am a Catholic. I don't know much about other religions teachings, so I will mainly discuss Catholic beliefs.

Secondly, please be civil. I am not interested in debating the existence of a higher power. I don't want this to become a flame war, so please, be open minded.

I was thinking about the Holy Trinity, which can be explained by this image


So i was thinking about the flaws in this system. God [G] is simultaneously Father [F], Son , and Holy Spirit [H], yet F isn't S, S isn't H, and H isn't F.
This could be explained with a sierpinski triangle:


So, is this an accurate depiction of the trinity, or am I just nuts?
Anyone who wants to contribute, please!

i think the first iteration sierpinski makes totally sense, what do you want to express with the second iteration, where the F/S/H is divided again ?

As soon as I learned of it I thought of your thread!

Hegel wrote his phenomenology of Geist in this triadic structure. I am quite sure that his mystical and religious mind felt this was an important revelation about the structure in the universe. He used it everyway he could think of, as a direct reference to the christian mystery, as a mystical structure, as a categorical division , as a metaphor etc.
In particular it was Marx who characterised It as thesis(theos) antithesis(uios) synthesis(pneuma) , a dialectic progressive revelation . It was because of that characterisation that it became seen as a tool for progressing the development of absolute reason or Geist. But in fact it is not a tool but a observation of a pattern that Hegel saw everywhere he looked. It was a symbol of the spirit at work, not man manipulating history!
