Why Christians can't add...

I ran across this quote (I don't know who first said it) on a site called "roflposters.com":

Christianity: The belief that some cosmic Jewish zombie, who is his own father, can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

At first I reacted very Baptistically.  That is to say, I was offended.  Fortunately my Baptistic lapse lasted for far less time than my actual Baptistic period.  Unlike the various periods attributed to those famous painter-guys like Picasso and so on, I painted nothing during my Baptistic period.  Well, a room or two, and maybe a picnic bench.  But that is a tale for another post.  Or not.

At any rate, on roflposters.com, viewers are allowed to comment on the posters.  After my initial reaction passed, I expressed my true feelings in a remark, remarkably similar to the following:

Half deliberate distortion, half pretty good paraphrase of how poorly many of us explain and/or live our faith, and half a good laugh at our expense. Yeah, we don't always add too well, either - that's how we get OK with the Trinity...
