It is almost as if the Reformed conceive of men as marching in a line through the jungle and having the leopard of the Holy Spirit drop upon them at random, savage their souls into line with the elect, and then frogmarch them at right angles away from hell into Heaven.

Only, the frogmarching does not appear to be exactly what some of the Reformed folks believe; some of them appear to believe that the Jesus limo pulls up alongside and a large sunglassed bodyguard pulls an Uzi and forces them inside.

The rest of humanity is predestined for the Reformed god’s glory to everlasting hellfire. But it’s not His fault. Really. It’s their own fault that they were made to go to hell. Really. And that’s not the God of All who predestined everything who should be responsible. It should be the creatures that were created to do something and when they do it, they’re condemned to everlasting hellfire.

I want to sell bridges to these people.

Amazing isn't it?
