Calvinism is nothing more than a superiority complex. Why worry about the well-being of others when you and only you are saved? This applies to the environment, animals, people affected by global warming, etc.
Um, because they're
not saved?
I don't get what you're saying... that you think I'm content to... rest on my laurels, if you will? Do you really think I'd be debating this if I were? Do you think I'm saying these things for vindictive purposes, or that I don't give a hedgehog's patootie about it? I'm saying them because I can't in good conscience let you and people who share your beliefs just keep staring at the headlights without at least attempting a warning.
Because if I'm sure of my own salvation, you think I have no reason to care about others.
Typical atheist.
Okay, seriously, though - try to understand where I'm coming from here. It's ridiculous to assume that I'm not concerned about others' well-being when you of all people should know that Jesus commands us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves (again, if I weren't scared for the unsaved, I wouldn't be bothering to type this out). In fact, I've said many times that I
do think it's a bad thing that there are so many people without health coverage, and that I
do believe in good stewardship of the earth. What I'm arguing against is the idea that the government needs to regulate and coerce people into providing and caring. I've also said before that if you have to force someone to do good, then the good deeds are worthless. It's the same attitude that Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for over and over and over again.
Also, you obviously don't understand Calvinism at all if you think it's a superiority complex. It's about as far away from it as you can get.
