Billions of devout fans worldwide are devastated today after it was revealed that members of the Trinity are preparing to go their separate ways. The official announcement last night ended weeks of speculation about the future of the Godhead.
"Creative differences" were cited as a reason for the break-up, which only fuelled deep-running suspicions that the Holy Spirit had engineered the split in order to forge his own solo career.
"For years it's been this whole Father and Son thing," an anonymous source told us. "The Father gives glory to the Son and the Son gives glory to the Father and there's this big love-thing going on between the two of them, and here's the Spirit asking, Hey, guys, where do I fit into this? Frankly, I think he has the talent to make a go of a new religion if that's where he's heading creatively. Hell, he deserves it."
This latest development has come as no surprise to some, however. Their long career has been plagued from the beginning by accusations that all wasn't as it seemed. Early on some were claiming that they weren't the three persons in one essence they were touted to be, but merely "three manifestations of a single person," while others simply denied the Son and Spirit had anything to do with God's success anyway.
"It was obvious the real talent all belonged to the Father," Arius told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview over sixteen centuries ago. "The Son didn't come along till much later, and even then he lacked originality. By his own admission, he only ever did what he saw the Father doing.
"Others are looking at the whole situation more optimistically. "They've lasted longer than most," one hardcore trinitarian said. "As the simultaneous three-in-one, they've managed to retain that sense of mystery about their image for a long time. No matter what happens, to me they'll always be three distinct persons, yet undivided in essence. It's who they are."
