Ps. There is also an equally radical "Christian" left on the march but it and its danger to civil liberty gets precious little mention from the left leaning mainstream media and its cohorts in academia.

My two cents on the JEHOVAH must be be triune to be perfect argument
A union of three imperfect divinities cannot constitute a perfect trinity. Therefore each member of our perfect trinity must himself be a trinity if we are to take this reasoning to its logical conclusion ,and of course each member of the perfect trinities constituting the perfect trinity must themselves be perfect trinities and so on ad nauseum .

Complications re:Darwinism's "simple beginning"
James Tour on Origin-of-Life Dealbreakers

Yet one more rant on the utter absurdity of Christendom's Trinity dogma.
Imagine a book with three Chapters,the subject of each chapter is a complete up to the moment understanding Chemistry. That's right if one diligently studies any of the three chapters of our hypothetical book he would become an expert on the subject of chemistry. Also having studied any of the three chapters none of the remaining chapters could contribute any further understanding of the aforesaid subject to our reader .
Let's say that this book alone contained this up to the moment understanding of chemistry.
If all of these premises be accepted as true, how could the claim that that any particular chapter of this book is necessary re: a complete understanding of chemistry be taken seriously?
Would this book in its entirety be any more valuable re: an up to the moment knowledge of chemistry than any of its chapters?
Would any worthwhile refutation be possible of the observation that this book is a couple of chapters too long?
More cause for despair re:Darwinism's "simple beginning"

Why JEHOVAH'S law demands that Jesus Christ be sinless man and not God-man
1Corinthians15:17NIV"And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. "
So the above verse clearly states that if the PERSON identified as Christ Jesus in scripture did not truly die and was not truly resurrected no redemption from sin would be possible.
If the person identified as Jesus Christ in scripture is the uncreated only true God he cannot also be a creature according to scripture, indeed he cannot even resemble any created object, according to scripture.
Romans ch.1:22,23NIV"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles."
It is stupid,according to JEHOVAH'S word, to even think that JEHOVAH would outwardly resemble a man to say nothing of being fully human
More to the point if the person called Jesus in scripture was the uncreated God of scripture he would not be subject to death
Psalms ch.90:2NIV"Before the mountains were born
or you brought forth the whole world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God."
1Timothy ch.1:17NIV"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
The Lord JEHOVAH was always ,is always ,will always be immortal.
According to scripture,hence can never die and thus can never be resurrected.
No wonder then that the scriptures tell us:
1Corinthians ch.15:21NIV"For since death came through a man(not God-man), the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man(not God-man)."

Anthropomorphized Darwinism?
About Those Placental Regulatory Genes
Politics and nationalism are just false Gods.
Revelation ch.13:4NIV"People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”"
Revelation ch.13:4NIV"ALL inhabitants of the earth (not a mere handful of "deluded cultists") will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. "
Politics and nationalism are Just other false Gods.
Revelation ch.3:6NIV"Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
What is meant by 'Son of God'?
Acts17:28KJV"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. (or he is our Father)"
Luke 3:38NIV"the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God."
John 6:57NKJV "57As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father(i.e the Father caused me to live), so(in the same manner) he who feeds on Me will live because of Me."
Luke 1:35NKJV"The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God."
Acts13:33NKJV"God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm:
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.’" note please that JEHOVAH'S restoring of his Son's life is spoken of as his begetting him anew.
Proverbs8:22NJB"Yahweh created me, first-fruits of his fashioning, before the oldest of his works."
To be clear JEHOVAH'S Wisdom is eternal hence uncreated like its possessor. Thus the passage speaks of the initial expression of this wisdom and not the wisdom itself.
Proverbs8:30NJB"I was beside the master craftsman, delighting him day after day, ever at play in his presence,"
Then this living derivative of JEHOVAH'S Wisdom proceeds to glorify its source by doing praiseworthy work.
Colossians1:15_16NJB"He is the image of the unseen God, the first-born of all creation,
16 for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, thrones, ruling forces, sovereignties, powers -- all things were created through him and for him."
1Corinthians1:24NIV"but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."
He is called logos one of the meanings of which is logic. He is JEHOVAH'S living rebuttal to those who accuse him of being a poor Father. He can only serve this purpose If he is truly a Son i.e owes his life/existence to his Father.
The supremacy of the Father permeates he scriptures II
John8:54NIV"If I glorify myself ,my glory means nothing. My Father,is the ONE who glorifies me." Once more Jesus identifies his Father as the one God of Israel. For Jesus and his fellow Jews the Father and the God were identical,the father was not a member of a collective deity. And can we even conceive of the Father claiming that if he glorified himself his glory would be nothing.(btw why is the Holy Spirit not glorifying him)
John:6NIV"I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Here again we see that the Father and the God are the same person. Unless we wish to claim that Jesus is merely mediator between man and a subsisting member of the God. Also if all members of this Godhead are truly co-equal why is it that only the Father requires a mediator and the Son and the spirit don't.
John ch.14:28"You heard me say,"I am going away and am coming back to you." If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father,for the Father (the God) is greater than I" The Son's plain declaration that the person identified as the Father is greater than the person identified as the Son really ought to be the end of the matter,unfortunately we have had to witness the most cringe inducing mental gymnastics in connection with this text.
Hebrews ch.6:13NIV"When (the)God made his (third person singular)promise to Abraham since there was no one greater for him to swear by.." God is immutable, so the apostle's declaration holds true at all times and in all places.
John ch.6:57NIV"Just as (in the same manner that) the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father (or the Father caused me to live),so (or in like manner) the one who feeds on me will live because of me." If someone else caused one to live then one is most certainly not the one God of scripture. And the comparison with the way Christ will resurrect faithful followers should be a safeguard against attempts to needlessly mystify the verse. But who caused the Son to live The Father (i.e the God).
Luke ch.18:19NIV""why do you call me good" Jesus answered" no one is good_except (the)God alone."" Here is another verse that really ought to be as plain as day as to its meaning ,but regarding which Christendom's theologians have elected for the most appalling mental contortions rather than the plain reading of the text. The Father is good in a way that distinguishes him from even the very best of his Sons. And this distinction is a transcendent one.
