A Calvinist is Like an Arsonist

"In Arsonist pathology, an Arsonist sets something on fire and then usually watches the conflagration from afar. He derives a morbid pleasure from both setting the fire and watching it burn. But within general Arsonist pathology, there is a sub-category of Arsonists that goes beyond this. As with the other Arsonists, this guy derives pleasure from igniting the fire and watching it burn. But this dude goes a bit further. Not simply content to ignite and watch it burn, he also goes in to rescue some of the people who were victimized by his arson! In this way, not only does he feed off the fire and the destruction it causes, but he also feeds off of the admiration of the public for his apparent heroism. Of course, you see where I’m going with this. Calvinists cannot deny that their take on the biblical God is that of an Arsonist deity. He demands glory and renown for setting the fire (decreeing/pre-determining any and all sin and evil in the world). He is delighted in himself as he watches the fire burn (the world goes to hell in a hand-basket due to the ravages of divinely pre-determined sin and evil). Lastly, he delights in and demands to be glorified for saving folks from the burning edifice (the deity’s salvation of people from the temporal and eternal ramifications of divinely pre-determined sin and evil). Oh, and he delights in and demands to be glorified for saving some folks and causing others to burn (salvation for the pre-selected, and damnation for the pre-reprobated).”
