he did give in to his tyrannical nature in the Servetus incident and therefore as nice a guy as he may have been in other matters, Calvin was a tyrant.

Historical revisionism. Either that or methinks you don't know what a real tyrant is.

Historical revisionism.

Facts.

Either that or methinks you don't know what a real tyrant is.

A tyrant is someone who uses the power of the state to have a man with whom he has a theological disagreement executed.

It is you who is making an attempt at historical revisionism. Calvin (for all his good qualities) died with Servetus' blood on his hands. That is a fact.
