Are you a Calvinist? Believe some things are preordained?
I am much more so than when I was younger.

Although I lean more toward Hobbes, I am in the same boat as you.

Superstition. Does it mean you are not responsible for your actions?
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I understand John. Speaking of boats. Sorry about standing you up as to fishing. It was cold. too cold to enjoy being on water.
Maybe that was preordained?

It probably was. No worries about it from this end. I had some "grandpa and grandma needed to tend to grandsons" while you were gone.

Must confess to not knowing much about it.....John Calvi was not a name I gave much thought to till just recently. I'm reading "A Column of Fire" by Ken Follet, and it's all about the struggle between Catholics and Protestants in England and France. Fascinating book, really enjoying it. I knew there was a significant conflict between the two sides,but I never knew just how violent and brutal it really got. Kinda puts things in perspective a bit, when people complain about how bad things are and how we must surely now be in the "end times"....we really haven't seen schitt compared to what has happened before.

Excellent thoughts - what always appalls me is how "normal" people in the past condoned so much pure brutality as completely natural.

Catholics have tried to destroy anyone who believed in the Bible but not the Pope. This is why the Catholic church made having a bible, if not clergy or royalty, a death penalty. The Pope could say and do anything he wanted to do or say, whether it was sanctioned by scripture or not. And the Popes over the years have put the demons to shame with their crimes. And it continues to this day.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Inshallah, for some. Some do make their own luck but Schidt does happen. A persons health and that of their loved ones seems to be the divine crapshoot.

Modified. Not even Calvin was a total Calvinist in the end. As it is I don’t pretend to know as much as I thought I did at one time. Also don’t take myself as serious as I used to.

Every Catholic doctrine, every Catholic teaching, is rooted in the Bible. Always had a bible, nobody's threatened to kill me yet.

He's not talking modern times when he says having a Bible was forbidden. You believe that everything the Catholic church ever did was rooted in the Bible?
