To: raynearhood; don-o
I have a Calvinist friend who sings in a shape-notes group with my husband and me. Nice as pie, and one of the rare and delightful people who can sing and smile at the same time.

But I keep thinking of how odd it would be if he were to speak to us on the love of God: what would he say?

("Jesus loves you... maybe...or on the other hand, maybe you were created to be damned with no hope whatsoever...")

Could he say that and smile at the same time?

So I think perhaps he is a... oh, what was that word? It's a new term somebody invented to mean the opposite of a hypocrite: that is to say, a person who publicly espouses a bad ideal, but actually doesn't live down to it.

A person who secretly practices a lot better than they preach.

Super-crite? Epi-crite?

He seems a good deal more likeable than his god.
