Ah, Dilbert. Great comic. Back in the day, if you were high enough on the ladder at work, you'd get the WSJ delivered every day to your office. Basically, it was a way to know who was getting the Dilbert cartoon every day, since nobody actually read the paper.

Too bad Adams isn't around to write a Dilbert strip for churches. That would be some rich content.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

This is one of my favorite Dilbert strips.

RIP, Scott.

I have read through this thread several times and am very confused. Calvinists/reformed believe in unconditional election. So Scott Adams, or anyone for that matter, eternal fate is predestined and there is nothing he or anyone else can do about it. Yet his conversion is being questioned as whether it is sincere or not by Calvinsts/reformed.
This is not logical to me. And I am honestly trying to understand . Maybe I do not understand it because I am not of the elect? And if not I can do zero about it?
Help?

He did write that statement on January 1, so he had a few more days to ponder it, and I'm sure the Holy Spirit was working on him. He may have had a true moment of faith over those days where he DID believe. It only takes faith the size of a mustard seed.

Romans 10:13

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Why do we try to make it so hard when Scripture is so clear? It is like people say it can't be that easy. It is.

My impression of his letter is that he was treating it as a "Say the magic words and receive a prize" type scenario. The performative end point of his interpretation of Pascal's Wager, I suppose.

I do not know what was in his heart or what he said on his death bed, but that letter is not a conversion to Christ, but hedging a bet.

I pray he found Jesus in the end.

Under Calvinism/Reformed theology he couldn't have found Jesus unless he was of the pre ordained elect. So what difference do his words or thoughts mean? I am seriously confused.
