Isnt' Christianity technically tritheistic? "Father, Son and the Holy Ghost"?
-Most Christians are trinitarians, which means they basically believe that there is "one God with three persons." Some are unitarians, which means they believe in one God exclusively. Generally, most Christians wouldn't call themselves tritheistic, they would just say they believe there are multiple manifestations of God.--John 13:43, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Article needs to be expanded
Before June 3, 2009, this article consisted of only three short sentences. I would like to make this into a properly informative article by copying in the additions that I have made to this week to the Monotheism article in CreationWiki. A Conservapedia administrator informed me, when I first joined Conservapedia, that this is proper as long as I give notice on this discussion page that my contribution originally appeared in CreationWiki
