I am a Supralapsarian Calvinist. The picture you see in the background is of Gordon H. Clark.
Dr. Gordon H. Clark was the greatest Calvinist theologian and philosopher since the Protestant Reformation. He is rightly nicknamed "America's Augustine." He was far more consistent than Jonathon Edwards--but don't get me wrong--I still greatly admire Edwards. You can buy most all of his books at trinityfoundation.org ! If you want to quickly learn what I believe, then read Clark's books.
Gordon H. Clark wrote, "Why study logic? If you intend to study logic only because your course demands it, then another question immediately arises: Why does the curriculum include a course in logic? Why would anyone think logic is important enough to make it a required course?" (Logic, I, page vii).
It appears that many today no longer think it important to study logic. It is not required at most universities. Instead, today's population of mindless Catholics, pagans, agnostics, and atheists have all but done away with logic for something they call "practical reasoning."
In some cases, these non-Christians, and their irrational love of the deeply flawed epistemology known as empiricism, have replaced deductive syllogistic logic with the ridiculous study of "probability and statistics."
As a result, most college graduates today can not pick out an informal, not to mention a formal, fallacy in reasoning. They have been dumbed down, and they are all the happier for it.
Yes, the agnostic dictum is simply: ignorance is bliss. However, the real danger comes from Roman Catholicism, which teaches that "ignorance is the mother of devotion." The fomer makes men complacent, the latter makes them slaves.
Again, empirical atheistic and agnostic thought always ends in mindless skepticism and heathenism, but Catholicism always ends in an absolute police-state where talk of civil liberties will get you arrested, tortured, and eventually murdered.
Simply put, the pope is Antichrist.
Men will not come to enjoy a logical and intelligent way of life based upon the Bible Alone until they come to believe in Calvinism.
It is no coincidence that a nation made up of Calvinists and Calvinistic thinkers would develop a Constitution with a Bill of Rights! It was Calvinist and Presbyterian Pelatiah Webster who wrote the Constitution of the United States of America.
Though there has been a great effort to convince Americans that their Founding Fathers did not adhere to their Bibles, nor look into them to see how man should live, not only ethically but politically, the fact that early English speaking Americans studied and believed their Bibles is inescapable.
Popular and watered-down historian David McCullough, certainly no Calvinist, nevertheless demonstrates the extreme Calvinistic nature of our Founding Fathers when he quotes a British general hissing at patriot soldiers.
He quotes British General Grant when he writes, "If a good bleeding can bring those Bible-faced Yankees to their senses, the fever of independency should soon abate" (1776, II, 5, page 179).
This Calvinist suspects that McCullough never realized the robust significance of this saying of Grant. The British General seems to realize a certain connection between belief in the Bible Alone and a spirit in the believer which seeks to be free from tyranny! Of course, you can not sever the necessary connection between believing the Bible and desiring freedom just by killing some Christians. Like I said, the Bible teaches us to live free!
The Bible is not called the text-book of freedom for nothing!
When nations accepted Sola Scriptura and Justification By Faith Alone, they soon developed national sovereignty, religious freedom, a free press, a defense of free speech, and separation of church and state!
No Catholic nation has ever come close to producing and maintaining a government with the design of recognizing and protecting the civil liberties of its citizens from the tyranny of priest-craft.
No atheist or agnostic has a basis to produce anything like our Constitution, for they can never begin to explain why we should do one thing, rather than another. No matter how hard you try, you can never deduce an "ought" from an "is", and so empiricism fails--for no one can sense morality or politics!
It takes a great people to make a great nation, and it takes Calvinism to make a people great!
