The Protestants, on the other hand, created a man-friendly theology according to which one's own sins count for naught once you declare your faith in Christ.

Or, in the case of Calvinists, your sins, if they can still even be called that without abusing language, preordained by God in kind, in number, and in extent, count for nothing if you're one of the elect and count for everything if you're not, though it's neither a man nor God-friendly theology.

Yes, exactly. But some of these zealots will post to me just so they can then say (no matter what I say) "you have no spirit". Childish.
