If you believe in Calvinism and OSAS and you deny what I say about it, you're just delusional, because what I say FULLY lines up with what you say, I just stretch out your nonsense to its logical conclusion.
OSAS most definitely is a license to commit sin which grants immunity from the same punishment the unlicensed will suffer...if not, please explain.

In this world of suffering and death, we're better off gathering the beautiful flowers and ignoring the briars and thorns.
I think it's a symptom of something deeper. Are not symbols of death more commonly associated with the dark side? I've studied into the occult world to see just how these "confederacies" spoken of in Scripture that end up running the show fit in. They are preoccupied with such things, be it the Bohemian Grove, political societies, the entertianment and academic world...not saying you're an occultist, of course.
Or, it could be an indication that you lean toward sensationalism. At any rate, it's still really WEIRD to depict the new birth as a skeleton, which all recognize represents death, like Jupiter and the skull with crossed bones.
Many Christians think they can disconnect themselves from Jesus' Vine, go down the street to Satan's house, and graft themselves into his Holly tree for a while.
IOW, although they know God is not accepting of it, they think salvation grants them a license to indulge a little sinful pleasure once in a while because doing will not result in forfeiture of it.

i think you should spend less time meditating on things you hate and reasons to hate them, and more time meditating on Colossians 3:3 and John 11:25-26 -- you'd probably get a clearer understand of why we are so secure in Him 
i happen to have this avatar because i believe the scripture when i read it and i am thankful.

And what "liberty" have we been called to indulge? James says "the LAW OF LIBERTY", the Ten Commandments.
Paul is telling people the are free from the Law of Moses which has been nailed to the Cross...but the Ten Commandments "stand fast forever and ever". Don't you guys get it? They aren't called the "Ten Suggestions". They are the standard in the judgment. And, you OSAS guys keep saying we shouldn't break them, but if we do, no problemo, we gots graaaaaaaaaaace."

Oh, Jesus also says if we fail to warn our brother of sin and deception, we show hate toward him..but if we warn him, we show love to him.
Example? I can't imagine anyone looking at Jesus on the Cross and still wanting to retain their own pride...like the Christian who withholds his money from the collection plate, only to later see a homeless man give a stranger some money.
The Cross is something that when gazed upon should compel us to lay our pride in the dust.

Exactly...it's talking about habitual, known, deliberate sin, not the spur of the moment, moment of weakness type, for which there is forgiveness proffered.
Unfortunately, today, many put "sin" under one umbrella, see themselves making mistakes due to character flaws which have not yet been healed by the Holy Spirit, and then throw up their hands and say, "Well, nobody can keep the law, so let's invent OSAS so that we can still go to heaven."
