Any Calvinists here?
Edited on Mon Aug-15-05 09:01 AM by underpants
Hell SINNERS!!

Good morning and welcome to yet another day in which you cheat the eternal damnation that you are predetermined to anguish through.

I, being of the validated/wholesome/complete humans, was wondering if there are any other Calvinists here who can share in our wonderful irresistible grace whilst watching the damned hang on desperately to their earthly avoidance of the inevitable?

3. A Story to Live By - The Parable of the Worms
Calvin: Ok, give me the nickel and I'll eat the worms

Susi: No, you eat the woms and then I'll give you the nickel.

Calvin: How about two cents up fron and the rest upon completing the job?

Susi Sorry! You don't get paid until you do the work

Calvin: Many, you'd think the guy eating the worms would be calling the shots!

Susi: Usually, if you're calling any shots at all, you're not eating worms.

4. Yep, I was raised Calvinist, messed me up pretty good.
Several years ago, I was in therapy, and my therapist wanted me to say out loud,"I am a good person."

I couldn't do it.

I said, "I can't say that! I'm a Calvinist!"

He didn't understand, I tried to explain.

Then he said, "Maybe you need a new religion."

I'm Christo-pagan now.

And I love Calvin & Hobbes.

:loveya:
