The Trinity: A Texting Conversation


Good student, "So what is the trinity like?"
Other student, "A purple duck peeling an orange on a highwire"
"Creative... I think you are going crazy other student."
"No, I'm using analogical language"
"Okay then."
"What about lasagna and wine from last week?"
"What?... Well i ate that last night... And i'm eating it again tonight.  I made lasagna this weekend.  The trinity is like lasagna and wine?  The trinity is like march madness... Like mitosis... Like my militia of love?"
"I think it's more like the trinity is delicious with Lasagna and wine.  I'm not so sure about March madness"
"Indeed.  The trinity is delicious... I am transcribing these texts to my christology blog.  This is true theology.  Thank you technology....."
"You have a christology blog?"
"I could no longer keep my rambling and quest to myself. I considered adding you as a contributor."
"What is your quest?"
"What is your favorite color!?"
"Black"
"I'm on a quest for the holy grail."
"Oh.  Is it a mission from god?"
"Umm... Maybe?"
"How did you decide on this quest?"
"Smoking hookah one night it just came to me..."
"Oh, right.  And what does the grail consist of?"
"The grail is... I dunno.  I am just interested to know what people are thinking."
"Knowing what other people are thinking is related to the grail?
"The trinity is like the grail... So perhaps..."
"Well if you're going to be heretical and insist that everyone is good, you could always ditch the trinity and say 'there is no god but god'"
"Well if i decide to be a heretic i will keep that in mind..."
"Remember that that one comes with a hijab"
"Hmm.  Another thing to keep in mind..."
Good student, "Theology is exhausting."
Other student, "So is ignorance."
