Just cause He has Three persons within does not make him "poly."

Also, by this standard, Hinduism is not polytheistic.

According to the tenets of Hinduism, God is one as well as many...

Therefore for a Hindu the worship of gods and goddesses is not a mere superstitious idolatry but an act of faith and a form of communication, a way of placing our cares and concerns in the hands of God, the One Supreme Universal Self, of infinite dimensions, who envelops the worlds, the planets and the whole universe and is also hidden in them. The gods and goddesses are His different forms, the many hands, feet and faces of the one Supreme Purusha, the universal Self

I don't know if I ever said it was or wasn't. It is incorrect. If the various "gods and goddesses" are truly different "faces" and various other body parts of the one "Supreme Purusha," then I guess it isn't polytheistic either.

All depends on whether it's true or not.

Though it has certain error, thinking of Father, Son and Spirit as Three different faces or ways of interacting with us can help to understand why three can be one.

Where have I heard that 'different forms' business before? LOL
