John,

MikeL has not, to my mind, demonstrated a tone indicative of one who has come here with the intention of actually learning about Calvinism. He has instead several times stated his unwarranted and unduly negative assessments without even adequately addressing much that has already been said in response to him. No one here demands that he be convinced by the explanations we offer - he may even disagree with what we say & give his reasons why. But his efforts thus far, with several responses that have been dismissive or flippant, leave much to be desired. Perhaps you have not read all of his posts, in which case you may very well see of what I speak by reviewing the posts made by him.

At any rate, this Board does not exist for the purpose of providing space for mockery of the Reformed faith. Mike has already stated that Calvinism leads to insanity & the end of thought, has said that it provides a good reason to use force rather than persuasion, has intimated at length his low opinion of John Calvin & his theology, has stated that John Calvin wanted to blame his life on his sinful nature (with obvious implications for Calvinism!), and has now accused Pilgrim of building a theology around God's hate of individuals. This behavior is unacceptable, as I & Pilgrim have already made clear.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified.
