How is Jesus or the Trinity genocidal? That kind of dramatic sweeping claim requires some evidence to back it up. Also just because Jesus came down to earth incarnated as a biological male, it doesn’t necessarily mean that God doesn’t have a feminine side. That’s just a completely baseless extrapolation.
Also you say that “Logic and reason say that Yahweh's feminine side ended in Satan, as the feminine is the root of mall [sic] evil to an evolving species like ours. ”
…WHAT? That just feels sexist for like absolutely no reason. There is no universe in which “logic and reason” show you that femininity is the root of all evil and that Satan is just Gods feminine side incarnate. There is literally no evidence to support that claim whatsoever.

Wild extrapolation bro. “Sabbath was created for man” was just Jesus explaining the reason for a law and it was his way of condemning legalism. Turning that into a condemnation of Gods existence is a massive non sequitor and literally doesn’t fit in at all with any of his other teachings - especially considering Jesus claimed to be God himself as I mentioned earlier

right but the OP isn’t asking how the trinity works, they’re disputing that it even exists

This is kind of an exact words fallacy though. Like sure, the Bible never explicitly says the word “trinity” or formally defines the idea, but the idea is baked into the text. For example the Bible mentions the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit separately and yet calls all three of them God. For example in John 20:28 where Thomas calls Jesus “my Lord and my God”, and Jesus accepts this praise, implying that the Jesus and the Bible claim that He’s God. However Jesus also often refers to God the Father as if he’s a separate person. The scene of Jesus’ baptism also features, the Father, Son, and Spirit depicted as being separate, but all divine (Matthew 3:16–17). In fact Jesus says in Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Notice that the word “name” is SINGULAR while referring to 3 distinct persons. The three being here also implies some sort of equality. Now we already know that the Father is God and that Jesus claims to be God, so this verse shows Jesus also claiming that the Sprit is also God, but distinct from the Father and the Son. If you follow the logic, then the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, yet Jesus makes the deliberate decision to delineate between them and in fact in other verses, communicates with the Father and Holy Spirit - implying separate personhood. I hope I’ve provided enough evidence from scripture to at least convince you that the doctrine of the Trinity is at the very least a reasonable extrapolation based on interpretations of the verses if not what the scriptures are actually trying to convey and that the early church Fathers didn’t make this structure up out of nowhere. I know I didn’t quite answer all of your questions and I can expand further if you want those answers or have any rebuttals.
