So no? I mean, haven't you heard? Calvinists have been expelled from Christianity.

Calvinism is the only consistent Christian branch that doesn't imply a limited God.

How about Christian atheism? It is internally consistent. It also does not imply a limited God. Many people would suggest that it isn't Christian though.

I would apparently be one of "many people."

I was agnostic from age 13 to age 21. I briefly professed faith in God and then very recently read the Gospels. I'm agnostic again.

A lot of Christ's teachings are very gruesome. Have you read Matthew 13:47?

What's gruesome about that? I'm a big fan of horror movies, I know what gruesome actually is. Sorting fish into "good" and "bad" categories does not count.

How do you tell a good fish from a bad fish? By looking at them.

Is Jesus some kind of Nazi?

I think we can be pretty sure the National Socialist party was not in existence in 30 AD.
