Re: Ipse Dixit
So for the Calvinist, we might be considered to ...be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato" in the belly of God.

Which is caused by your not understanding his arguments though you so arrogantly think you do, think you understand them better than Calvinists and better than Calvin himself.

To think that such an educated man as Calvin would be subjected to such ignorance rather takes the breath away.
​
That an entire faux academic edifice can be constructed around arguing the non-existent, that takes away mine.
