There is only one God in Christianity. We are not stupid, we know how to count.

Do you know what polytheism is?
So you are opting to defend your view by holding on to your people. Those sincere to the truth find the truth then its people. Not the other way.

Bob loves Anna. Anna loves Bob. So, there are two loves: Bob's one and Anna's one (female's love). No just one love. God is Love. Hence: three persons, but one Love. God is one in three persons.

What kind of God?
God is one person. Also there are no divisions in God. If he was formed of multiple aspects with division, each aspect would not contain all other aspects, and he would be formed of imperfections and incomplete attributes.
But God's attributes are such they describe ultimate essence. Ultimate Love is also Ultimate Wrath, and this is the balance that makes God scary. Everything originates from him including righteous anger in same way righteous mercy originates from him. But God is not formed of incomplete attributes. He is One such that he doesn't really have "attributes" but rather all attributes describe the same one essence.

The origin of love, courage, righteous vengeance, righteous compassion, etc, is all from God. But God does not contain multiple essences that unite him. He rather is One and a pure unity. From that unity comes infinite attributes and glories from God, but he is One. At ultimate God is each thing in ultimate, all things in ultimate, and does not lack anything.

It does not contradict Christianity. That post does not contradict Christianity.
Christianity describes Ultimate Being and acknowledge his Oneness, but also splits into three persons. This is a contradiction. A paradox.

No split in God, because God is Love. Bob loves Anna and Anna loves Bob. Two persons do not split their love. Such split is called divorce.
Ahlulbayt (a) are one in love, but they are 14 persons, and they are one light but also split 14 lights. The successors of Mohammad (a) are a path that guide to the truth, but also split into twelve paths as branches.
From one perspective, they are one, from another, they are split and many. God is only One, from all perspectives, no division in his essence, only in descent of his light is there divisions.

No split in Christian God. The split means schizophrenia. My God is not ill one.
Then God is One person. In Christianity, they want to worship Jesus but also stick to ultimate God and Oneness. Its a contradiction that can't solve itself and no solution is there for it.

God has no arms, no legs, no tale, no fur. God is Spirit. Love cannot be two or three. One Love - One God.
I agree, which is why God is One person.

Then no love is possible for Bob and Anna?
Bob and Anna emanate from God's Ultimate Life, if they exist, and Bob love for Anna and Anna love for Bob, is two loves from one perspective and can be metaphorically said to be one love from other perspectives or from the perspective all love emanates from God can be said to be one love as well.
