I think it's just where humans feel most comfortable, being able to identify, categorize, shelve, delineate, anything and everything into its proper niche. Humans are inately fearful/distrustful of the unknown. So when we can identify, even if that identification is incorrect or incomplete, it just makes us feel better.
A lot of what you'r etalkign about also deals with th equestion: How do we get information? Which then leads to what information we have to then go on to categorize. When information is stymied, as it so often is nowadays (because media outlets simply don't allow themselves the time and space to display th esubtle nuances, the gray areas between the black and white) then our ability to categorize is stulted, and we appear more ignorant, more reactionary, less full encompased in the world.
Feh, what do I know. except that, the concept of the Trinity has nothing whatsoever to do with the concept of the devil. The devil is completely removed from the Trinity. A completely seperate entity.
