Questions for Calvinists (part 2- Casting a Vote Against Election)

Posted on October 15, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

Welcome back to my “Questions for Calvinists” series wherein I am charitably assuming it possible that I simply do not understand Calvinism at all. From what I THINK I understand, Calvinism is a ridiculous pile of heretical nonsense, but it is professed by SO MANY smart and Godly men that I can’t yet accept that I understand it properly. So I am asking questions to see if I can learn to understand it, or if I already do.

If you remember my explanation of Calvinism’s TULIP, which I got from watching 9 hours of John Piper, you’ll remember that the U is Unconditional Election .

Unconditional Election is the doctrine that God chooses who will and who will not be saved.

FULL STOP. No alternatives, no options. No choices to be made. God already decided.

And you may be thinking, “Oh, sure, they mean God chose to save those who put their faith in Jesus Christ…” and you are 100% wrong. That is NOT what they mean, and they curse you as a heretic who is putting your faith in the works of man. Because on this system, “putting your faith in Jesus” is doing a work to save yourself, which means you are claiming to be your own savior. I’m not even making that up.

Flat Earthers Can Visit the South Pole for the Same Reason Atheists Can Be Moral

Posted on October 14, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

“Atheism is a religion, like bald is a hair colour”– so said SpawneeDave, and I’m totally sure he came up with that and didn’t just regurgitate something he saw on the internet without thinking about it.

I replied: That’s clever, Dave. And it would fit on a bumper-sticker. However- Hair color requires hair. Religion would require foundational beliefs about the supernatural, including God, the afterlife, miracles, and the soul. Atheism HAS foundational beliefs about all of those things. Thus, is a religion.
Did you not watch the video? Like I predicted?

Diversity Casting is SO GAY (An Open Letter to Hollywood)

Posted on October 12, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

The “gay romantic comedy” Bros flopped at the box office recently, and the people behind it took to social media to express how disappointed they are that heterosexual Americans didn’t come out to see it. The makers of this movie described it as capturing the experience of being a mid-30’s single gay man in New York. But then they were surprised that not gay, not New Yorkers had no interest in a movie about being gay in New York.

Dear Hollywood,

You told us that Ariel, the Little Mermaid had to be “black” so that little “black” girls could see themselves on the screen. We were told that they couldn’t enjoy a movie about someone who isn’t a version of themselves on the screen.

But now you wonder why normal people all over the mid-west don’t want to watch gay New Yorkers having orgies?

Please make up your mind. Your reasoning is giving us whiplash.

thank you,

Questions for Calvinists (part 1- WHY T?)

Posted on October 12, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

As you may know, I have been writing occasional articles about Calvinism where I always start by saying I don’t want to become the kind of blog that writes articles about Calvinism. But when something seems to me worth deep and Biblical questions, as well as being potential for a cheap and easy laugh, I start typing away. I don’t get paid for this, so I’m always looking for ways to make my job easy, to cut corners, and to give you the worst possible experience.

Oh, wait, no, that’s not me. That’s the Biden Administration. (rim shot)

See? Cheap and easy, like Dollar Store Cookies. But now I’m thinking about “She Hulk” and wondering if I should have said Disney +… Anyway…

I have been trying to get Calvinists to explain Calvinism to me, because I find it to be astoundingly absurd and incompatible with the Bible. Look, like most things I disagree with, I can see why people think they accept it.
“Pollution bad!” Ok, I’m a Climate change activist.
“Women’s rights!” Fine, I’m pro-choice,
“Love is Love!” Right, fly that rainbow flag and such…

Like, if all you have is the bumper sticker, and you’re too lazy to look any deeper, which, let’s face it, most people are…Well, remember “Black Lives matter”? That’s all I’m saying.

The New Ariel is Princess Segregation

Posted on October 10, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

According to the font of knowledge which is Wikipedia, “Racial segregation is the systematic separation of people into racial or other ethnic groups in daily life.” In other words, it’s a system which has the intention of dividing people based on their perceived race. In the Democrat run cities of the 1940s, that meant some restaurants were for “whites only” where as certain drinking fountains were for People of Color (which they called “colored people” which I think twitter considers hate-speech now). The system of various cultural and legal norms were designed to physically and emotionally separate “black” Americans from “white” Americans, and probably to separate both of them from the Jews.

It involves signage, rules, policies, laws and mask wearing Karens to constantly shout, “THIS is for WHITE people, and THAT is for BLACK people. STAY IN YOUR LANE!” Or, your safe space? Whatever. The point is, white people here, black people there. That is what segregation is all about.

Now for those of you who think the political parties are pretty much the same, or for those of you who think that the Republican party (Conservative, Christian, and which was LITERALLY invented to end slavery) is racist while the Democratic party (Leftist, Secular, Socialist, and which literally gave us the KKK) is opposed to racism, let’s talk about Racial Segregation. Is it happening today? And if so, who is pushing it, and who is fighting it? Think about it.

OK, now let’s talk about Disney.

Muhammad Vs The Angel Gabriel

My man Vocab Malone and “What Do You Meme”s Jon McCray give us another episode of Muhammad’s Boom-Boom-Room. Believe it or not, this is an educational series that teaches you all sorts of things about Islam that, from what I can gather, most Muslims never hear.

And it’s really funny. Check it out and share it with your friends, and remember, Jesus Loves You!

Really, WordPress?

Posted on October 8, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

For this article, How Disney Celebrates “Diversity I used the following as the image for the article:

But WordPress decided to stick part of the image at the top of the article, and it looked like this:

Which changes the meaning of the title in a way I did not intend.

Really, WordPress? My phone has facial recognition software, but your website doesn’t? I don’t care if this gets me more views. We are not doing this again young man! Now go to your room!

How Disney Celebrates “Diversity”

Posted on October 7, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

Disney/Pixar: We’re making the lead character of Soul a black man voiced by a black man!

Twitter: Hooray! Diversity!

That’s Joe’s hat…

Disney/Pixar: …and then he falls into an open sewer and dies nine minutes later, only to have a white woman take over his body and make every part of his life better even though she’s never lived a single day.

Twitter: Uh, hooray.
