On the lighter side: Versions of this “Ten reasons I’m a Calvinist” have appeared at various places in the Blogosphere, but I laughed when I read it and thought I would post it here for your morning cup of coffee.
1. Calvinists tend to wear wool and cotton. Dispensationalists tend to wear polyester leisure suits.
2. John Calvin was French. . . being French is very chic.
3. Calvin sounds like Calvin Klein. . . and his clothes are very chic.
4. Calvinists can drink.
5. Calvinists can smoke.
6. Dispensationalists are into prophecy conferences where they talk about Star-Trek eschatology and the mark of the Beast. Calvinists have conferences on “life and culture”, art, social justice, and other high- brow things like that. Afterwards, we go to the local pub and talk about philosophy over a pint of ale.
7. Calvinists have close ties with Scotland, and Scotland is very cool: you know -Sean Connery, the movie Highlander, Bagpipes, the Loch Ness Monster, Glenlivet 18 year old Scotch, the movie Train Spotting, Brave Heart, etc.
8. Calvinists think they are smarter than anybody else.
9. It is more socially acceptable to say, “I go to Grace Presbyterian Church” than to say,
”I go to Washed In The Blood Worship Center”, or
“I go to Sonlife Charismatic Believers Assembly”, or
“I go to Boston Berean Bible Believing Baptist Bethel”, or
”I go to the Latter-Day-Rain Deliverance Tabernacle Prophecy Center, Inc.”
10. Ultimately, I am a Calvinist because I had no choice in the matter.
