Nietzschean theology

If Calvinism is true, salvation is a condition, not a relationship. A relationship requires free consent.


Arminians don’t have a relationship with their parents. Arminians didn’t consent to be conceived. Arminians didn’t consent to be born.

Arminian babies don’t have a relationship with their parents. Babies are in no position to give informed consent. Same thing with Arminian two-year-olds. Or adopted children. 

Arminian siblings dont have a relationship with their brothers and sisters. They didnt give consent to be their siblings.  

Arminian grandmothers and grandfathers dont have a relationship with their grandchildren. They didn't consent to become grandparents.

Arminian children with autism or Down syndrome don’t have a relationship with their parents. They lack the cognitive development to give informed consent.

Arminian parents who suffer from senile dementia don’t have a relationship with their grown children. They are too enfeebled to give consent.

Arminian husbands or wives who suffer from senile dementia don’t have a relationship with their spouse. They are too enfeebled to give consent.

Comatose Arminian patients have no relationship with their friends and relatives. In that condition, they can’t give consent.

Arminian patients with mental illness or brain cancer have no relationship with their friends and relatives. They can’t give consent.

Arminian patients who are delirious from fever or intoxication have no relationship with their friends and relatives.

Arminian theology is Nietzschean. A theology to and for the strong.

  1. Do the persons of the Trinity even have a relationship under Olson's addlepated rationale?
