| | | Define Calvinism using the word 'toys'
This list never fails to make me smile, but it's missing several terms like 'Confessionalism', 'Calvinism', etc. Anyone care to suggest definitions? - Capitalism: He who dies with the most toys, wins.
- Hari Krishna: He who plays with the most toys, wins.
- Judaism: He who buys toys at the lowest price, wins.
- Catholicism: He who denies himself the most toys, wins.
- Anglican: They were our toys first.
- Greek Orthodox: No, they were ours first.
- Branch Davidians: He who dies playing with the biggest toys, wins.
- Atheism: There is no toy maker.
- Polytheism: There are many toy makers.
- Evolutionism: The toys made themselves.
- Church of Christ, Scientist: We are the toys.
- Communism: Everyone gets the same number of toys, and you go straight to the opposite of heaven if we catch you selling ours.
- B'Hai: All toys are just fine with us.
- Amish: Toys with batteries are surely a sin.
- Taoism: The doll is as important as the dump truck.
- Mormonism: Every boy may have as many toys as he wants.
- Voodoo: Let me borrow that doll for a second…
- Hedonism: Hang the rule book! Let's play!
- Seventh Day Adventist: He who plays with his toys on Saturday, loses.
- Church of Christ: He whose toys make music, loses.
- Baptist: Once played always played.
- Jehovah's Witnesses: He who sells the most toys door-to-door, wins.
- Pentecostalism: He whose toys can talk, wins.
- Existentialism: Toys are a figment of your imagination.
- Confucianism: Once a toy is dipped in water, it is no longer dry.
- Non-denominationalism: We don't care where the toys came from, let's just play with them.

A man cannot serve both toys and God. Either he will love the one and hate the other.

Depends on who is defining, our opponents might say
1. toy robots programed to say I love you God
I have actually heard Hank Hennigrff do this by saying Calvinism can't be true because that would reduce Christians to Chatty Cathy dolls.

Calvinism: some have been predestined to receive eternal toys, others have not.
Nuance:
Moderate Calvinism: only the elect receive eternal toys, but the non-elect receive temporal toys in this life.
High Calvinism: only the elect receive eternal toys and temporal toys, the non-elect get no toys in this life.
Moderate Calvinism: eternal toys are sincerely offered to the non-elect.
High Calvinism: there is no well-meant offer of toys to the non-elect.

Calvinism: The toys you get freely are predetermined by God in eternity past.
Arminianism: We chose the toys first, so they then came to us.
Semi-Pelagianism: The toys have the ability to reject the person trying to take them.
