Bit of a random musing, actually; You know what I've never really heard? A theist/apologist teaching that God doesn't answer some folks because he hates them. Or rather, knows they wouldn't make a good fit, so to speak.

That would be a perfectly "plausible" explanation as to why some people never hear back from Him, next to Him just not being there, of course. 
At least as likely as "not believing right", it would seem. 
Though, I can certainly understand why you all would think that would be no good could come of telling telling some folks that they will never be 'called'. 

If your God already knows who won't make the cut, that would make A/S/King an exercise in futility for some, wouldn't it?
Heh heh...If people have A/S/Ked and received radio silence, may they should just take the hint.

I thought that was the whole point of calvinism, "god hates the rest of yiz, but he loves me and my homies. No matter how depraved we get (and we go pretty low) we gets to heaven, no matter how good yiz are ye gets hell."

Calvinism, yes.

I would say not really, as far as own my take use to go, though. As a theist, I spent most of my churchgoing years attending Pentecostal services, but I was always left with the impression that atonement was likely limited to some degree from my own personal study/interpretation. I'd always believed that one could reject the call to salvation, though. And lose it, as well.

None of it makes any sense to me these days, anyhow; I can't make heads or tails of it anymore.
