How disappointing.

Sure, I know its humorous, but it is also quite pointed.

And mischaracterizes the Arminian position.

Quite frankly, it ends up making you look both ignorant and mean-spirited, which not a good start to winning someone over to your viewpoint.

I've seen lots of threads here over this subject, participated in some, but always thought that at least most of posters were seeking to enlighten and persuade.

What if an Arminian changed the words to a song we all love, throwing in something about making God the author of all sin, and we are all nothing but His puppets?

Thanks for the note. In all seriousness, the reason a parody song like that is humorous is because it is poking fun at the attitude of the human Arminian, quite different from making fun of God.

There are extremes of hyper-Calvinism that I reject, but too often I see people deny crucial truths like total depravity and the assurance of salvation.
