(from On Quaternarianism)
Assuredly, the notion that God is limited to three persons is absurd! Given the popularity of the belief, popularly known to be truth, unpopularly called Trinitarianism, I propose a counterplan. Perhaps God consists of four persons. Daniel's statue takes four parts, as do most of the beasts in the Son of Patmos. Most of the wisdom of Solomon expresses itself in four-parted statements. Another myth of the trinity I have heard comes from the parerga of St. Patrick; he made use of the native clover to explicate the tripartite nature of the LORD. He might have done better to use a four-leafed plant, which itself is considered fortuitously auspicious.
