[On allegations that other religions have trinities of gods too]
Christianity didn't take this from the pagans. Demonic spirits introduced it to pagans.

I don't know, Satan seems to do way more than God according to you. So either Satan's not a bad guy or, the more likely reason, you're the ones worshiping Satan and everyone else in the world who you disagree with is worshipping God.
Hmmm, your argument might have weight, but you seem to be oblivious about the fact that cristianity wasn't around since the beginning of time. Even your stupid book doesn't say 'and on the 6th day god made the christians'.
Christianity came AFTER Judaism, because it grew out of it. Judaism did not have the trinitarian concept of God (still doesn't, as far as I know), but other beliefs did have trinitarian attitudes toward their deities -- noticeably ancient Egyptian, which has a veritable horde of deities, most of which that we know about are linked in threes. (Interestingly, it was also the first culture to experiment with monotheism, thanks to one particularly fanatical king.) But the idea that Christianity could influence "pagan" cultures retroactively is purest nonsense; it's like claiming that you inherited your musical talent from your grandchild!
