There’s a place for intelligent debate and carefully reasoned rebuttals in the marketplace of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n
But … Mockery can also be an appropriate response to the actions or ideas we encounter in the public square.<\/p>\n\n\n
And even within the church square.<\/p>\n\n\n
That being said, I have to share a video created by Warren McGrew and posted on his YouTube channel called Idol Killer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
McGrew is a very likable, knowledgeable, and humorous guy who happens to be a former Calvinist and, as such, tends to take shots at Calvinism.<\/p>\n\n\n
In the past week Idol Killer has been posting short satirical videos created by AI in which he promotes a fictitious “Honest Calvinist Conference” featuring some of the most famous faces and voices of modern Calvinism.<\/p>\n\n\n
McGrew strips away the carefully worded justifications within Calvinist theology through mockery. And it’s fun to see.<\/p>\n\n\n
Check out this one on the topic of Sovereignty and let me know what you think:<\/p>\n\n\n
* Please note that, incredibly, the voiceover quotes in the first seconds of each of the Honest Calvinist videos are genuine snippets of audio from these men’s sermons – the AI voices only kick in when the MC appears on screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
