What is needed is a special "chip upgrade" from the Holy Spirit which enables the regenerated man the ability to believe.

Why didn't I see this before?" Why? Because without the Holy Spirit's special chip upgrade it is impossible to believe. Therefore, when men go to hell, it is because God never have them the upgraded chip...they never even had a chance to go heaven. This is the repulsive false doctrine of Calvinist.
