For a Calvinist God is sovereign, in control, and that offers a good deal

of comfort. Unless you are not “in” but then we won’t know if that is the

case or not until this life is over. So you should be a Pascalian

Calvinist, entwining the Divine Wager with God’s sovereignty. For some

reason Jonathan and Josh missed that point.

It is important to remember that it was violence that was the cause of

Christ’s death and he did not respond in kind. In his resurrection we do

not find a response around the notion of “getting even” but instead around

love and forgiveness. So many Christians seem to forget this, seem to

embrace the violence that is very real in our world, and accept it as a

given. Christ calls us to a better path.

One of the things that comics do is engage the reader in a number of

The point is, good theology, well articulated, well thought-out, well

reasoned theology relies on philosophy for input, guidance, and direction.

The problems that people like Kant, Hume, Wittgenstein, and others have

worked on should have a good and strong influence on theology and can help

one to think theologically in a good and critical fashion. In many ways the

two are very closely related and are almost impossible to separate.

We are dealing with and working with people. Some of these people have

their own religious story and others do not, but they are all people with

their own struggles, worries, and ideals. It is important that in working

with people in the political arena that we continue to share and show the

love of Christ to all that we encounter.
