This hackneyed aphorism is without historical or empirical merit. I am a Calvinist and I am certainly not afraid of someone having a good time as long as they are not impinging on my rights. In fact, unlike most pietists or legalisys, true Calvinists believe it is possible to glorify God in all areas of life. We simply do not think that gives one the right to take advantage of one's neighbor.

H.L. Mencken's aphorism about Republicans applies now to the left. He maintained that a Republican was scared that "someone, somewhere, might be having a good time".

Folks, we are the Guns and Good Times Party.

Then it does not apply to you.

It most certainly did apply to Geneva when Calvin was defacto dictator there, hence the definition.

Funny, I always thought that Calvinism was rooted in errancy.
