Josh, don't you know lying kills your soul?

I just read a post by a Lutheran basically justifying the fact that he isn't Reformed because Doug Wilson is a theonomist. Of course, in this Lutheran's convenient world Doug Wilson is an example of a 'Reformed theologian.' The writer knows better.

This dishonesty is everywhere in the Christian blogosphere. Roman Catholics do the same. You see their blogrolls and under "Reformed Blogs" you'll see a list of the most neo-orthodox and otherwise liberal or "Rome-tending" bloggers on the internet who get their thrills by self-identifying as Calvinist or Reformed, but never any blog by a real Calvinist.

The reason for this is real Calvinism - real five solas, doctrines of grace, biblical doctrine - is what is called the Truth. And the Truth is hated and mocked. It's OK for a Lutheran, or a liberal protestant, or a Roman Catholic to be dishonest in their representation of Calvinism and Reformed Theology because they are doing it in the service of the cosmic hatred of the Truth that courses through their currently hollow souls.
