I love memes. You don’t often see one that’s about the Trinity! (H/T Tim Pawl on Facebook.)
One could view this as a complaint, a mere lament at our cognitive ineptitude. Or, possibly, one could view it as superficially a joke, but actually an assertion of negative mysterianism.
In practice, I think that stance is going to always include a policy of repeating the required words, but refusing (for the most part) to expand on what they may mean, on what claims are being made by them. We’ve discussed this before. Some of the old Polish Socinians had what I think is a good objection to this stance.
