Has everyone who kneels to the name of Christ now been labeled an Amish or an ascetic?

You really seem to have a persecution complex. This is at least the third time that I've noticed on this thread you've come to the defense of Christians when nobody was really attacking. It almost seems as if the legitimacy of your belief system pends on your status as a continual victim.

If we presuppose we are autonomous specks of lint in the arid drier vent of the cosmos, that is what we become.

The "evolution isn't true because I'm uncomfortable with it" argument. Irrelevant to the topic, as is anything John Calvin said, whatever influence he had 200 years ago. If the Founding Fathers wanted a Calvinist society, they would have explicitly stated it in the Constitution. I for one am quite glad I don't live in a theocratic state of any denomination.

But what shall we call the PC idiocy that has captured and ruled us these last few years?

LOL. You haven't been keeping up with the discussion.

Christian writings were referred to as "clutter" in post #468.

Bible-believing Christians were accused of "risible sophistry" in post #486, with a delightful comparison to "fundamentalist Barbarian vandalism" tossed in for effect, apparently.

In post #306 we have the usual assault that a secure belief in Scripture is "something peddled by false prophets."

And finally we have a complete and hysterical rewriting of history and this country's founding tenets under the guise of anti-Calvinism.

Same old, same old. And this is only from a few dozen posts I've read on this thread.
