those darn calvinists

I just had to post this, it's too funny. I think you guys will like it. It's from my friend's blog:

This is a great top 10 list form Alan Farhi:

TEN REASONS I AM A CALVINIST

1. Calvinists tend to wear wool and cotton. Dispensationalists tend to wear lime-green 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, they go to the local pub and talk about philosophy over a pint of Bass 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, McCallan 18 year old Scotch, the movie Trainspotting, 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 Sonlife Charismatic Believers Assembly", or to say "I go to Boston Berean Bible Believing Baptist Bethel", or to say "I go to the Latter-Day-Rain Deliverance Tabernacle Prophecy Center, Inc.", or to say "I go to the Philadelphia Church of the Majority Text", or to say" I go to Soul Saving Station #3", or to say "I go to the Lithuanian Apostolic Orthodox Autocephalic Church of the Baltic union of 1838."

10. Ultimately, I am a Calvinist because I had no choice in the matter.
