I just busted up when I saw this doctored Geico add. The Cavemen adds are probably my all-time favorite commercials. It was a terrible sitcom that I had great hopes for, but in short doses they're the best. Many of my Christian friends are Calvinists, and big fans of Jon Piper, who is the morphed caveman preacher in the picture. The add polks fun at two theological positions that are central in Calvinism (and that Lutherans like myself disagree with): Double-Predestination, and in lieu of this, limited atonement (i.e. Jesus ONLY died for the sins of the elect). While I don't normally use this blog to get too preachy, I found the combination of theology and pop-culture wed into something really funny.
