    As a side note, please remember Sid Krofft, who was involved in the series, who just passed at 96 the other day.

    I heard a similar joke that even speaking about God makes us heretics.

    And yet, here we are!

    I am actually very fond of the Trinity, for what it's worth.

    I am sure that He/They would say “Likewise.”

    I'm firmly of the opinion that a dogma of salvation by "correct doctrine"
    is no dogma worth retaining.

    Dogmas are important, certainly, but they are not the end unto themselves.

    Indeed, it’s arguably Gnostic—the idea that knowing the right stuff is what saves.

    That doesn't mean we are poker faced and don't make fun of ourselves.

    I miss the Onion Dome! O @mousethief, you made such a cool thing!

    I should mention that I'm not completely conflating little-o orthodox and credal Christianity, though I think that the credal includes the little-o orthodox, but not the reverse, in terms of Venn diagrams. I'm thinking of little-o orthodoxy as including such doctrines as Jesus being really truly the incarnate Son of the one God Who made everything, Who died and was resurrected to (in some sense) save us all from sin and death, and so on, as opposed to (say) that Jesus was just a nice guy with some good ideas and wisdom, but nothing more, or even that there is no God at all. When I started the thread, I was thinking that there were a lot fewer of us (and certainly the minority now) on the Ship nowadays who hold to little-o orthodoxy or even specifically credal doctrinal /dogma orthodoxy. Whether the creed in question includes the filioque or not, I'm thinking of the rest of the basic Christian doctrines about the Trinity common to Anglican, Baptist, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist, Roman Catholic, etc.
