A lot of these Evangelicals have become neo-Calvinists and they would tell you that Jimmy Carter’s works were all filthy rags. I’ve listened to a few sermons by a prominent (now deceased) Calvinist and holy crap, there’s not an ounce of love in him. It’s all God is holy, God is wrathful, God can destroy you if he feels like it, and he probably has. I don’t know how anyone can be a Calvinist without losing their minds.

Calvinism as filtered through John Knox is the most pernicious heresy of the last 1000 years. I know that’s a hard word to most moderns and I’m not into Warhammer 40k, but what it means to me is an idea that allows the look of Christianity while gutting the meaning of it. To mean that is what Calvinism is.
