So you claim Calvin as a right leaning fundamentalist/extremist - huh??? Who else do you judge so quickly and harshly, last I checked everyone has free-will so you can make your claims all day long, but all too often folks like you never truly back them up with historical facts.

Everyday I hear the news paint folks on the right as ‘extremists’ and everyday I see them fail to back up there claims. I’m getting quite tired of this hyperbole - so please back it up bub!

No, I actually make the claim Calvin was an extreme liberal compared to historical traditional Christianity as seen through the consistent writings of those like the Early Church fathers ,such as...Saint Irenaues, Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Athanasius etc.. And Calvin was a liberal compared to later Church Doctors, such as... Saint Aquinas, Pope Leo XIII and others

Calvin was closer to modern Manicheanism with his dualistic idea of God than he added the dark idea of total depravity to boot.

Perhaps you need to do some study of Christian history,dear friend, and you will find what I just wrote is backed up rather easily

I wish you a Blessed day!
