You re-mortgaged your house for a better rate

Yep, just closed yesterday. I'll be saving $200/month. :o)

I need to point out that you are not being asked to follow a different God.

I'm gonna start a new church. The Metacatholic Church will embrace the traditional Catholic trinity of persons, but will go beyond this. In order to be more inclusive, we'll add some new persons to the Godhead. Throw in Mary, for starters (that'll please biblewonk ;o). Add Krishna to bring the Hindus into the fold. For the Buddhists we'll elevate Siddharta Gautama from Catholic saint to full divine personhood. And we'll throw in Odin to bring in a scattering of traditional Norse believers in Iceland, Wiccans, and Asatru types.

So, we have seven divine persons, but still only one divine being. Since the Metacatholic Godhead includes the traditional Catholic trinity, you wouldn't have any problem with this, would you?

If I was convinced that this seven-headed Godhead had come to earth and revealed itself this way, then no, I wouldn't have a problem with this.

(We might need to throw Luther in there to reel in the Protestants.)
