I am concerned that some of the growth spurt in Calvinism, is due to the fact that Calvinism is currently cool: we have a lot of cool leaders (some bald and bearded), we do a lot of cool things (like drink and smoke), and we have something of the new coolness of a Scott Adams who however dweeby he may really be is very good at making fun of things. But "cool" is an unattainable myth (because it's about projecting indifference, but to project it right you have to care enough to pay great attention to detail in personal grooming), and so what currently rates as cool may very soon not be. Those who are Calvinists because it is cool to be so, will not last if the cool theological thing becomes open theism or whatever.

Vanities and disguises have covered us, and thereby we are naked; licenciousness hath inflam'd us, and thereby we are frozen; voluptuousness hath fed us, and thereby we are sterved, the fancies and traditions of men have taught and instructed us, and thereby we are ignorant.
