| As implied by my name, I am a theist. I've very recently started looking into my faith, and came to these forums to ensure that my belief is logical. I look forward to debating topics with you, and stuff. |

You a Christian? If so we have lots in common.

 harsh introduction much.
You shouldn't come here to prove yourself correct, thats an illogical way to look at things.
Do the Holy Ghost and Jesus count as seperate gods or are we putting them under Yahweh? (I get confused with the holy trinity nowadays...)

i assure you that it is not.
and welcome.
just... a word of advice: please, please, PLEASE don;t consider 'feelings' and unprovable things to be 'evidence' of a logical position. we'll chew you up and spit you out like so many that have come before you.
There is nothing logical about believing in the unprovable, the untestable, the undetectable and the self-contradictory. If logic is truly your standard, you'll not remain a theist for long.

welcome to the forums. |
They're the same, although the Bible makes a bit of a mess with explaining it.

Jesus and Yahweh and the Holy Ghost are the same? So god sacrificed himself to himself? Is that right?

| You do know there's a total lack of evidence for the supernatural, that religion is 100% faith, and there's nothing logical about that? |

There's also a lack of non-evidence. Atheism takes as much belief as theism. |
