Calvinist: *sigh* Another example of how the Arminian gets it all wrong (i.e., ignores Scripture, etc.)...
Arminian: Well, let me tell you how the Calvinist is just plain wrong (i.e., he misunderstands Scripture, etc.):
C: (misconstrues the Arminian's position)
A: (misconstrues the Calvinist's position)
C: If the Arminian were properly informed, he'd see the error of his ways.
A: If the Calvinist weren't so "well-informed," he'd see the error of his ways.
C: When we follow the Arminian's claims to their logical conclusion, we see he asserts that (X) is true, which obviously can't be true (because of Y, Y, Z, and Z).
A: Ditto, minus the "obviously".
C: When arguing or presenting statements, the Arminian displays (X, Y, or Z) character flaws. (Implied -- or perhaps spoken): I and other Calvinists, on the other hand, argue strictly facts.
A: The Calvinist is in love with his facts but not with people; he really doesn't "get" love (said rather plaintively).
C: (complains about the Arminian)...
A: (complains about the Calvinist)...
C: (takes offense at the Arminian)...
A: (takes offense at the Calvinist)...
C: (insults the Arminian)...
A: (insults the Calvinist)...
Wash, rinse, repeat...
addendum I forgot one:
C: I suspect, from the Arminian's arguments, that he's really a Calvinist; he just doesn't know it.
A: (some sort of ruffled-feather-strutting response)
I didn't pull out the appeals-to-famous-names arguments either...
