When I was 9 God showed me the water molecule is an icon of the mystery of the Holy Trinity showing how three divine spiritual persons can be one God. The two hydrogen atoms signify the co-equal Father and Son while the oxygen atom signifies the Holy Spirit who unites them into one sharing the same being, the most perfect most simple element.

well, it seem you can quite easily break up your holy trinity then, as we all learned in high school, splitting H2O into H2 and O2 is done on a daily basis.
The concept of the Trinity has little to do with Jesus, the concept didn't even evolve until the late fourth century (unless you're of the opinion it's a relic of a pre-Christian Platonic belief).
It's all Alice through the Looking Glass stuff anyway, show me someone who claims to understand the Indivisible Unity of the Trinity and I'll show you a damn liar.
Well, considering all rules of chemistry and sub-atomic interactions were written in LISP by G-mans oldest angel Lucifer (litterarly "being of light"), I think that you are wrong Mikelley. The thing you are right on the money, though, is that those mushrooms you consumed in church and those steams you inhaled at chemistry classes are mighty good stuff. Thanks for sharing them over internet.
Water isn't an element. Idiot.
Sure it is. Earth, air, fire, water and spirit are about as far as fundies got with chemistry.
As a matter of fact (as opposed to fevered delusion - like, y'know, your drivel) the most simple element is hydrogen. One proton, one electron, atomic mass 1.00794.
Go on, then - let's see you make a symbolic 'trinity' connection out of that .
I must give you credit for a pretty decent analogy, except where it fails in the end. We aren't going by the "classical" elements of earth, fire, wind, and water anymore. Not really fundieish, not really that bad either. Just uneducated...
What makes Hydrogen not perfect? Seeing as hydrogen alone would be the simplest element.
well, as, as far as we can tell now, Hydrogen is the element where all other elements are made of ... therefore, it is perfect.
But then again, christianity is an imperfect monotheistic religion :D
@EvoPagan: "Earth, air, fire, water and spirit are about as far as fundies got with chemistry."
No-one tell the fundies, but they're worshiping Captain Planet!
Water isn't an element. The simplest element is hydrogen, of which the simplest isotope consists of merely a single proton. The simplest component of reality yet known is a couple of stages lower even than that, and nobody's really sure how far down it goes.
I'll play devil's advocate and throw you a bone, here - wave-particle duality would be a far better analogy for the trinity. Why the trinity is still nonsense while all the baffling paradoxes of modern physics remain mostly good science, I'll leave as an exercise for the reader.
>>"...the water molecule is an icon of the mystery of the Holy Trinity showing how three divine spiritual persons can be one God.

Why is the "Holy Spirit" atom so much bigger than the other ones? I thought the Holy Spirit was also supposed to be Jesus-God, and would therefore also be equal to them and would thus be the same size as a hydrogen atom according to the analogy. H3O+, maybe? The oxygen would still connect everything.
The other thing is, is that all the atoms in a molecule are all relatively separate entities even though they're bonded together. So the analogy would make this Jesus-God-Spirit thing look like three separate discreet entities, even though they're all supposed to be the same thing.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, ozone might be a better molecule to use as a representation in an analogy like this, as it contains three of the same atom. So you'd be getting that "one-in-the-same" vibe really well.
Anyway, it's cute to see this, as I'm kind of a chemistry geek. :)
Um, it's been a decade since my last chemistry class but I'm pretty sure that water, a.k.a Dihydrogen Monoxide is not an element. Hydrogen is an element, oxygen is an element but hydrogen and oxygen together do not an element make.
That is a heresy! Each aspect of the Trinity is not simply a distinct part of God, but rather each individual aspect of the Trinity is also wholly God. Each individual part of the Trinity is wholly God, yet you could not say anything similar that the hydrogen atom of a water molecule is wholly a water molecule. Somebody's just begging for a visit from the Inquisitors!
Hey, I recently saw a porno that was an icon of the Holy Trinity. One girl was sucking this guy off, while he was eating out the other girl, who was in turn eating out the first girl.
No, no, silly fundie! You have it all wrong! The EGG is the perfect symbol of the Trinity:
Shell - White - Yolk
The two hydrogen atoms signify the co-equal Father and Son while the oxygen atom signifies the Holy Spirit who unites them into one sharing the same being, the most perfect most simple element.
Water isn't an element, it's composed to two different elements either of which is infinitely simpler than H2O. Also, why water? why not any of the myriad of other substances that are composed of two of one element and one of another? If it's supposed to signify somthing holy then why isn't in one of the various abrahamic scriptures, come to think of it the only verse in the bible that support the doctrine of the trinity is a known forgery.
Water is a compound, not an element, and quite frankly it really isn't all that simple either.
Additionally, I piss about a trillion Holy Trinity's every time I urinate.
And one other thing, you are complete and total douchebag.
No, it makes more since in a man with multiple personalities..one body, three different personalities
..and all of them batshit loony.
So Mikealley believes that the potentally dangerous indrustrial chemical Di-Hydrogen Monoxide, a compound consisting of 2 highly reactive gases, Hydrogen & Oxygen, in a liquid stste, is a representation of the Holy Trinity...?
Molecules, elements... What's the difference! None if you're a fundie!
Which explains also why fundies use words like 'gen' 'DNA' 'chromosome' and 'molecule' interchangeably, when attempting to refute evolution in their typically ridiculous and inept ways.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
