I wonder if anyone has written a Freudian analysis of the love triangle that is the Christian dogma of the Trinity. Not to debunk it, of course--there's no "debunking" something that cannot first be "bunked." But the mental effort that has been expended over the centuries to make this doctrine appear indispensable to religious believers suggests a longing that the dogma is offered to fulfill. What is that longing and how might such a belief potentially satisfy it? These, it seems to me, are pertinent questions that someone of Dr. Freud's stature (or someone versed in his thought) might be in a position to fruitfully pursue.
