    It was a Calvinistic mindset that resulted in millions of American Indians being slaughtered because they were "heathens" by "the elect". Adolf Hitler was actually a big fan of the "Indian Removal" program in America.

    When you believe you are an elect people loved by God and that everyone else is inferior and fated to be destroyed by God, it is easy to help God out.

    This is Calvinistic thought.

    Most of what you've said about the history of Anglicanism is inaccurate, as I have shown you. Further, to claim that every Anglican founding father was a Calvinist is ludicrous. The Puritans were always a minority in the Anglican Church.

    You have the nerve to label what I wrote pompous, insulting, and smug after the things you've posted here, including threads you've started? :laugh:

    You say you don't like mealy-mouth Christians and you want straight talk, so I gave you that. You should thus be delighted and thanking me for it. So, as I said, go now, young man,and study Anglicanism to show thyself approved. :)

    Okay, and I appreciate that and thank you very much for your words. I wasn't quite sure what you meant, so that's why I didn't blast you. I didn't want to misread you and then have to repent. :laugh:

    Yes, Luke hates soft, sentimental, "touchy-feely" persons.
