Credo - Beer Catechism & Reformed Blogosphere

Reading some of the replies at Boars Head Tavern lately has made me chuckle (ok, split a gut.)

Mark Whittinghill’s post about Creeds and Statements of Faith tries to spell out what his perfect church would preach/teach that:

drinking Budweiser is a serious error requiring corrective beer catechism, etc.

I have done an internet search and so far have been unsuccessful in finding a good ‘beer catechism’ :)

And Michael Spencer, as always, is stirring things up. Here he lists:

How The BHT Can Get Good Reviews In The Reformed Blogosphere.

1. All repeatedly cite our complete agreement with WCF.
2. All repeatedly cite our constant debt to ________________ (name reformed bigwig.) Then buy and love all his books. Every paragraph.
3. All agree to tell our Catholic friends they are going to hell because they worship a different Christ.
4. All agree that postmoderns are not Christians.
5. All agree that Brian McLaren and N.T. Wright are heretics. Cite the Reformed bigwigs who said so.
6. All agree that TULIP is important enough to talk about all day, every day.
7. Trash Arminians as often as possible for their inability to read what the Bible is plainly teaching.
8. Be uncharitable to all non-Calvinists in the name of “truth-telling.”
9. Endorse the political agenda of GOP, and tie it to the Christian Worldview. Question the salvation of those who don’t agree with our interpretation of that worldview.
10. Forgive the errors of all Puritans. Be outraged at the errors of anyone else.
11. State openly that some people need to “watch” what they blog, and women don’t need to blog at all.
12. Question the mental stability of those who persistently criticize Calvinists.

I think the only one that he really misses on is #8 - instead of just ‘non-Calvinist’ it needs to add ‘and so-called Calvinists who don’t agree with me’
