you heard it correct. The followers of Calvin say that there be elect (i.e. Brahmin robots chosen to go to heaven and programmed to do good) and the non-elect (untouchable robots chosen to go to hell and programmed to do so by Calvingod) -- and at the end whatever the nonelect do, calvingod laughs and sends them to heck

Calvinism believes that everything's already pre-willed by the great robot-maker in the sky, who has already pre-programmed every robot (us) to do good or evil and who has already marked each robot to go to everlasting torment or to heaven.

The robot can't do anything but this program (no free will) and at the end of time, the robot maker laughs at the robot who was programmed to do evil and says "you did the evil I programmed you to do, now burn, burn for all time"

You know, this unfathomable load of nonsense would be funny if it weren't so sad; you have not the slightest idea about what you speak. This statement should be put on a billboard as evidence of total lack of comprehension.

Really.

But, I tend to forget that your background doesn't involve actually reading and seeking understanding of scripture. This post is evidence of this fact. I do continue to hope and pray that The Lord will open your heart as I pray He opens MrPiper's heart and mind.

You both need it.

Now... GC, BB, MM -- I still think I hear something, but it's not making much sense... ;D
