Alright, if the Son and Spirit can both be caused, come into existence, AND be eternal all at the same time, then this faith is definitely too hard for me. :)

But believing in talking snakes and donkeys and dead people getting up and walking away is not? :)

Ah, but talking animals -- given their ubiquity in folklore and fairy tales and legend and Disney movies, etc., are the easiest thing in the world to picture! And -- I would venture -- that at the death of a loved one, the imagining of him getting up and walking is easier than the mental acceptance of the actual and awful death staring us in the face.

Maybe some people can believe only what they can picture, what they can understand from human experience.

Nah, I see talking snakes and talking asses all the time when I flip on C-SPAN, and we've all seen dead people voting in places like Chicago and Louisiana for years. :)
