As Reformed Christians we do recognize that God has ordained everything, and we are to thank Him for everything, even though from time to time we may be doing so through tears. Recognizing God's sovereignty over all things, however, should not be equated with "blaming" God in the way the skeptic complained. He has probably not met very many Reformed Christians, and his complaints are valid when directed against common evangelicalism.

This may explain the old adage about Baptists being Methodists with shoes, and Presbyterians being Baptists who can read. To round out the adage, Lutherans might qualify as Presbyterians who drink to excess, and Episcopalians as Lutherans who know when to say when. - D.G. Hart
