A friend of mine related the following tale to me today:

My eight-year-old daughter just explained the Trinity to me.

She was talking to me about what she sees as illogical, the idea of three-gods-in-one. Apparently, so far, her church has so far taught Jesus as 'son of God'.... rather than 'god, incarnate'.

Anyway - I pointed out that the 'common' conception is that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all 'one'... And she wanted me to explain to her how this might be possible. I admit my failing, and asked her if she could come up with an explanation for me.

This is her answer: (word-for-word, she wrote me a report)
"First, you have God laying down on a metal board with a laser next to him. He cuts off his head and arms and grows them back, then molds his arms and head into Jesus.

Jesus does the same, and takes the skin out of it and leaves the spirit. Then you have all 3 people."

The "No Mister Bond, I Expect You To Die" model of Christianity. I can dig it.
