LOL. And now your logic has failed. It's been a real pleasure talking past you...

Of course they're silly, that's the point. But they are silly in the same way as is blaming drunkenness on a liquid substance in a bottle, which is what you did when you said "the death, the broken homes, the broken lives, the sheer misery that is directly attributed to alcoholic beverages."

"Losing one's senses" had nothing to do with what KnowTheTruth posted. I wasn't trying to excuse anything, I was trying to point out that KnowTheTruth's logic failed.

And as far as eating sugar is concerned, I will send my children to your house the next time they have spent all day with their grandparents. Then you can try and convince me of the non-relationship between sugar and losing sense.

Let's try this logic with other items:

If I had never seen a Bible and all I had was the statistics on obesity in this country - I would not want to be part of it and would not tell people it is ok to take a bite.

OR

If I had never seen a Bible and all I had was the statistics on diabetes in this country - I would not want to be part of it and would not tell people it is ok to eat sugar.

The problem is not with the item (whether it's food or drink or ___ ), the problem is with the individual. Banning or pretending the item does not exist does not deal with the real issue--the sinful heart of man.

Ummm, OK. So then according to these brilliant researchers even "extremists" have their limits? They only blow up stuff and terrorize others because they are concerned about the survival of their "culture"? What a crock. You have to be educated to be so dumb.

"This article is wrong in so many ways it is not worth replying."

Sheer brilliance. Chris has stated it to be wrong, so it must be so. My response to people who make the claim that "there is so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to begin" is always the same: Start with the first wrong thing and continue from there.

What do you use to study miracles then? What do you use to study logic? If logic studies logic, how do we know which one is illogical: the logic we begin with or the logic we are studying? Likewise with religion; if religion studies religion, which "religion" gets tossed when a conflict arises?

TULIP is a popular summarizing of the five points, but you really need to read the source of the summary in order to fully understand the biblical arguments that are being put forth. It must be remembered that the Synod of Dort (an ecumenical council of sorts of Protestant scholars and pastors), after much debate and study, declared the five points of the Remonstrance (Arminianism) as heresy. This wasn't something that was taken lightly or ignored.

"After reading the true 5 points of calvinism"

And what exactly are these? What "true" 5 points did you read? If it was anything other than the declaration of the Synod of Dort, you have not read the actual five points. Also, understand that these 5 points were in response to the initial 5 points of students of Jacob Arminius.

Don't play the martyr card daves. It's not you that people don't like, it's your liberal politics and theology. You're probably a swell guy apart from everything you're wrong about... :)
