You said it mate,not me.
I don't care all that much about religion per se. However,the ignorant and dogmatic misery guts we often get here give met the Tom Tits.
Here in Australia Calvinists and others of that ilk are called 'wowsers' . They spend their entire lives trying to make sure everyone else is as miserable as they,or at least convincing themselves that is the case. These pathetic creeping Jesuses fight a losing battle in secular Australia, where a common attitude is
"I'm here for a good time,not a long time"
Don't they believe that there is an elect and that certain people are predestined to go to hell, so that they can treat people they don't like as those outcasts? That's what really turned me away.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
