The question in the OP doesn't make sense as long as the gospel of John exists. Christians will always find a passage from there to support their trinitarian views. No matter how synoptic gospels contradict them.
Yes.
Unfortunately, the bible can be made to say almost anything. That was it's worth before the stupid started to read their myths literally.

Yet you quote is as authoritative. As a puritan...or Satan... would.
Yes. If I want to have literalists engage so that I can correct their poor thinking, I have to play with their stupid ball. A genocidal and infanticidal ball that they somehow see as good.

You lose then. Its how I identified you as a puritan atheist. "Literalists" make up only about 5% of Christianity. Have fun in your parochial concentration.
For instance...Christians believe in the Trinity as defined in the Nicene Creed, as I have pointed out to you and your fellow puritans many times.
I will accept your estimate that only about 5% of all who follow Jesus, in a literal way, of the 100% actually believe the lie of Jesus and his divinity.
That just shows how many Christians are liars.
You are likely high in your estimate, if I go by how Jesus said he would identify his people.
He said they could do all he did and more. That shows that there is not even on real Christian as none have stepped up to show their faith.
Sigh. So many Christians are liars.
