Annalex, I was kidding Harley about this part:

HD: "If you promise not to tell my other Calvinist brothers, I'll tell you the secret to Calvinists' "wisdom"."

I agree with what he said. :)

The silly part is that of all these people only the Calvinists, to my knowledge, would provide Bible quotes by the dosen in order to "biblically prove" something understood with or without the Bible, then pretend they somehow defended Calvin's theological hoax.

Of course. Why would we ever need to defend our beliefs by quoting the Bible after perfectly well reasoned, and non-attacking posts like this?

When I see a hoax, I attack it. Nothing wrong with that.

When a quote from the Bible is supporting an argument, it is used properly. If quotes are used to bulk up the post that do not reinforce the argument, then such quote is not used properly, and if the unrelated to the argument quote is proclaimed as deciding the argument, then what we have is an attempted hoax.
