"FAR better than picking some explanation out of a hat and forcing it to fit the situation." Actually, while researching Calvinism one of the primary complaints I came across over and over again on the many anti-Calvist websites I visited is how Calvins have their "theological ducks in a row" but the theology is "too cold and heartless".

I guess I would rather have my theology correct than to be warm and fuzzy. :O)

There's no doubt you are very systematic. It is, apart from its fundamental flaw, a very coherent system.
It is also guilty of the "cold and heartless" claim. When atheists hate God, they hate this Calvinist conception. I was even told it was bad of me to think of God as a friend!
If that's not cold, I don't know what is.
