is this horrible snobbery or what?

Before we tar and feather Dr. George, please read the quote IN CONTEXT, where it says . . .

The elect are not the elite. There is no place in Calvin's thought for the kind of spiritual snobbery reflected in the old camp-meeting ditty, "We are the Lord's elected few, / let all the rest be damned./ There's room enough in hell for you, / we don't want heaven crammed!" The true Calvinist preaches the gospel promiscuously to all persons everywhere, aware that God alone infallibly knows all those who belong to him.

"John Calvin: Comeback Kid Why the 500-year-old Reformer retains an enthusiastic following today," Timothy George, Christianity Today September 2009, Vol. 53, No. 9.

that's a 180 isn't it?
 
copied from Christianity Today article on calvinism:

We are the Lord's elected few
Let all the rest be damned
Theres room enough in hell for you
We dont want heaven crammed


this is so pitiful, even in jest. wondered if anyone else had seen it and had thoughts?

What a cool song!

I can't imagine what would possibly be wrong with it.

Yeah! I think I'm going to add that to our hymnbooks.
