If you were blind but then miraculously received eyesight from God, would the seeing be yours or Gods? Would you bitch to God about forcing you to see?To be logically consistent, they'd have to, if it was obvious (and it would be in this example) that it was God who did it and not man. That's the one question I've never seen any Arminian ever answer. Even if God DID "force" a man to be saved, what would be so bad about that? When you consider the benefits of salvation against the alternative, how could it be a bad thing? But they act like little children, and whine and cry "But I wanted to do it! It's not fair! I wanted to do it! MOMMY!!! God's not being fair! He saved me but I wanted to do it!" (Stamps foot and stalks off in a huff)

Use the blind analogy the next time someone throws out the pathetically overused Arminian cliche: "God offers salvation but it is our responsibility to reach out and grab it. If someone offers you a gift you must still receive it."
I used that on the CEO of the company for which I work and that had him scratching his poor bald head and he eventually developed scabs on his scalp.
