Who's the coolest Saint you've learned about in the last year?

I’m amazed at the complete ignorance of Calvinism by “former” Calvinists. The gymnastics involved with explaining salvation outside of what is called Calvinism is absurd actually.

Can we get a Protestant on Tucker who actually represents us accurately without the strawmen? Jay Dyer (Orthodox) reduces the Calvinistic/Reformed view of salvation to "mere mental assent" — with the only change being God's disposition toward a person. That's not what any Protestant teaches, other than the hyper free-grace OSAS antinomian fringe. We teach justification by faith alone in Christ: a sinner goes from hating God to repenting and trusting Him. This is a real spiritual regeneration by God's grace alone, not just rubber-stamping an individual as "saved" and sending him on his way. Yes, we are legally declared righteous at the moment of faith: Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. But Scripture also teaches sanctification — not as a means to achieve salvation, but as a byproduct of becoming a new creation in Christ: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. Those whom God justifies in Christ, He will also glorify: Romans 8:30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.

"To a boat". As in: it's just a boat. Right? That argument works both ways: if it's "just a boat"... why change it? Why go through the costly effort of redesigning and remodeling it? FYI: I don't give a fuck about any of this, nor do I have a dog in this race — Assassin's Creed games are mid af to begin with — but the reason the world is such a vile place right now is because no one is willing to actually engage with the arguments of the other side. So let's be honest here and let's engage with what these people are actually saying. They're not saying "the boats aren't horny enough". They're saying "why are Ubisoft covering up something as insignificant as boats if not for political reasons? If they're willing to change something insignificant, how much more would t here be a willingness to change stuff that is actually significant, for similar, political reasons?". That second question is a much more valid one. And surely you would also prefer to engage with people truthfully and maturely instead of cheaply taking down strawmen?

Wow…I have no words to describe this type of reaction to a boat.

It's here, my own beer! 🍻 Great to see it in store shelves, will make a nice gift for fathers day bundled with the comics! Currently for sale in Gall&Gall in Vleuten and Driebergen (Netherlands). So proud to see my designs like this, another dream off the bucklist!
