If a wrong analogy to familiar or simplified situation is right for a purpose (explanation, prediction) then it is useful. You may also want to clarify if you are interested in analogies generally, for religious purposes, or specifically for the case of trinity. | |

I suspect this may relate to the Christian Trinity somehow. +1 | |
| Oct 16, 2018 at 13:28 | comment | added | Cannabijoy | @FrankHubeny I found this, but I can’t read it all. I like the analogies for modalism and tritheism. They’re good analogies that have a sufficient amount of similarities to make the description equivalent. But “it’s like this- but it’s not like this at all” seems illogical. | |
