Difficult read. I followed all the chemical references until the last paragraph. Seems like the term "diluted" was to symbolize the "Holy water" and God; but, then the "concentrate" became variable - sometimes symbolizing sin, sometimes symbolizing God. In scientific experiments the diluent and concentrate elements remain the same - it's just the volume of each which changes.

Also, I had difficulty seeing "baptism" as a "diluting". To me baptism is a symbolic representation of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Sins are not "diluted", they are completely removed. :)

Your unique perspective and creative examples were well thought, this last part was just difficult for me. :)
