 | The Calvinist War on Secret Radio
The War now rages at everybody's favorite IFB college over on Secret Radio. Early reports indicate that the Calvinists are winning, though this claim may be exaggerated. The Calvinists launched a surprise attack that was successful. But defeating one (admittedly inept) Bible teacher in a classroom setting is not the same thing as taking on the invincible and unstoppable Preacher Mack and his church of fanatically devoted followers. Over on the FFF, one of the posters wants to get the score without having to read about the war, and another non-Calvinist poster has ascribed victory in that war to the devil, though he may have been using sarcasm. It's hard to tell a paranoid fundamentalist preacher from a sarcastic fundamentalist preacher. What you never see is a gentle and kind fundamentalist preacher, because by the time they get that way, they've usually become Evangelicals. |
