Sorry to butt in, but if one of you guys has the time to clue me in as to just the general outlines of the debate at hand, I would appreciate it. I'm not one for much contentiousness....don't like the way it makes me feel. But I would appreciate knowing where you guys are coming from. I just would like to know what they are contending vs. what you are contending in a nutshell. Feel free to take it offline to freepmail or point me to other threads, etc.... Thanks!

You're not butting in. If this were private, we'd take it there.

Brief history. I avoid the religion forum because I've been over there under this screen name and my previous screen name in some pretty nasty arguments. In fact, I closed my previous account and created this one basically because "Ward Smythe" became the scapegoat for everything.

But there are four basic factions on the religion threads: Calvinist / Arminian / Catholic / Mormon(LDS). Depending on the argument you will find strange alliances. For example the discussion of the millenium divided the Calvinists.

That forum is not for the feint of heart. There's some good stuff that happens over there "The Neverending Story" is a pretty good thread. But the Calvinist/Arminian "debates" are pretty ugly.
