If you mean the point that it was obviously meant as an insult, a slur, a slam...then your senses are indeed finely tuned. Corin, no one here is "insulting" anyone. The problem is that the antithesis always looks like a "slam."
The Reformation "looks like a slam" to the church in Rome because it rebuts the church in Rome.
The Calvinist POV "looks like a slam" to the Arminian POV because it denies what the Arminian POV asserts.

Then why resurrect an old thread meant only for the purpose of ridicule?
Honest debate is one thing. Honest disagreement is another.
This is neither.

The problem is that the antithesis always looks like a "slam." You mean that an antithesis just can't exist without making the other side the butt of jokes, or misrepresenting their position, or mischaracterizing them in some other way?
I don't think you really believe that.
