The Triune Cereal
It occurred to me that instead of using pretzels or three-leafed clovers, people could use Rice Krispies to explain the Christian Trinity.
As the Christian Trinity is made up of three godheads, Rice Krispies is made up of three people (perhaps cerealheads?): Snap, Crackle, and Pop. There are three of them, but it’s still only one cereal, and you need Snap, Crackle, and Pop to have Rice Krispies. Pop would obviously be the father, given his name. Snap looks the most like Pop, kind of like how a young, unbearded Jesus would have resembled his dad, so there’s our second. And then Crackle would be the Holy Spirit, not because he does anything special, but because someone needs to fill the third slot (pretty much like the Holy Spirit does). Snap, Crackle, and Pop are a team, you can’t have one without the other or else you wouldn’t have Rice Krispies, just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit together make up God. Not only that, but the best part of this analogy is that you eat Rice Krispies, just as Christians eat God. The milk and rice that nourish your body when you eat Rice Krispies are just like the body and blood that nourish your soul when you eat Holy Communion. Too bad I’m not a Christian any more, I could make money off this thing. Maybe I should do an L Ron Hubbard and decide to found my own Krispie-ology religion, that’s where the money is. |
