No, my friend, I think the goal is to win over lurkers with a clear presentation of the Truth and show the faults of the arguments of the disingenuous. When your 'opponents' demonstrate that they have closed their respective minds years ago, it makes little sense to expect them to react to reason.
Amazingly, some of your co-religionists have hurled some of their most incongruous epithets (i.e. 'fatal heretic') because I announced I would -- get ready -- read a book. Now, for people of that genre, to expect them to say, 'you know, I've never thought of it that way before' is naive.
I didn't use the term, BTW. I don't think you're a fatal heretic. I think you will have the joy of spending eternity praising God along with John Calvin among a myriad of others.
I have probably read as many books that present theology with which I disagree as those whose views I hold. I was the one who pointed you to Open Theism and Greg Boyd. I poinsted Grammar to Finney's Systematic Theology. In both cases I thought you might enjoy the works of your kindred spirits.
