Which "tribune Godhead"? Celtic, Germanic, Greek,
Indian, Roman, Slavic, Taoist, Thelemic, other? Triune
deities are boringly common.

I'm -- as of course even you understood -- talking
about your "there are only two choices".
Close: there's only one. But that one's not a
choice.

Really? Define the usage of that term, and
explain why you claim it is one:

Seeing what his "love" has wrought here on Earth
in a few mere millennia, I'll pass on seeing
what horrors he can concoct given unlimited time.
But even so, what do you plan to do there, other
than sitting around for ever and ever and ever
and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and
ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and
ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and
ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever?
No thank you.

Uh huh. And living in a refrigerator box in an
alley in New York is better than living in the
slums of Calcutta. That doesn't make it any kind
of positive recommendation.

Not a one. Contemplating prospect of such a thing
is one thing that started me on my recovery from Christianity.
