The LDS view of the Trinity is one that comes naturally from, and in fact is the most honest interpretation of, the
relevent scriptures re: the Trinity, divorced from the traditions of the early Christians that lead to the correct (orthodox) interpretation of those scriptures. This is not silly.
It calls into question your faith tradition's rejection of the authority of the church to define proper interpretion of scripture.
Without such authority, the LDS interpretation holds just as much credibility and authority as your own interpretation.

Absolutely silly. Have you ever read the LDS extra-biblical Scriptures? e.g. Doctrines and Covenants? Book of Abraham?
