Calvinism is based upon the premise that humans are evil descendents of Satan and that they don’t deserve any better than to squat for eternity in hellfire.

Except of course for the chosen few, who waft about with wings in white nightshirts. And nothing that any of them can do matters. Nothing has an effect. God has created a bunch of people and is going to roast them, undeservedly, forever. It makes me wonder what kind of mind, what kind of psychosis could come up with that.

Humans are the descendents of Satan???

LOL. That is a lie, Mark. You've lied about Calvinism for days now, so I'm not surprised the lies keep getting bigger and bigger.

God has created a bunch of people and is going to roast them, undeservedly, forever.

Undeservedly? The only people in hell are those who do not have faith in Jesus Christ. Do you disagree with that?

I realize the counter-Reformation has to label all dissidents as enemies of Rome and in need of extermination, but your langauge is over the top...again.

"Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho." Joshua 6:26

"Since he was cursed who rebuilt Jericho, much more the man who labours to restore Popery among us. In our fathers' days the gigantic walls of Popery fell by the power of their faith, the perseverance of their efforts, and the blast of their gospel trumpets; and now there are some who would rebuild that accursed system upon its old foundations. O Lord, be please to thwart their unrighteous endeavours, and pull down every stone which they build. It should be a serious business with us to be thoroughly purged of every error which may have a tendency to foster the spirit of Popery, and when we have made a clean sweep at home we should seek in every way to oppose its all too rapid spread abroad in the church and in the world. This last can be done in secret by fervent prayer, and in public by decided testimony. We must warn with judicious boldness those who are inclined towards the errors of Rome; we must instruct the young in gospel truth, and tell them of the black doings of Popery in the olden times. We must aid in spreading the light more thoroughly through the land, for priests, like owls, hate daylight. Are we doing all we can for Jesus and the gospel? If not, our negligence plays into the hands of priestcraft. What are we doing to spread the Bible, which is the Pope's bane and poison? Are we casting abroad good, sound gospel writings? Luther once said, 'The devil hates goose quills,' and doubtless, he has good reason, for ready writers, by the Holy Spirit's blessing, have done his kingdom much damage. If the thousands who will read this short word this night will do all they can to hinder the rebuilding of his accursed Jericho, the Lord's glory shall speed among the sons of men. Reader, what can you do? What will you do?" -- From "Evening By Evening" by Charles Spurgeon

I can see you haven't studied this subject much and are relying on strange information that you've perhaps heard someplace.

I'd recommend just a quick glance at an encyclopedia or short bio of Calvin. Someone like you shouldn't want to look uneducated to others.

Seems more like the god of Moab.

That post nicely illustrates a fundamental doctrinal difference between Catholics and Evangelicals. Everyone, repeat EVERYONE, repeat EVERYONE deserves nothing but eternal "roasting". He would be absolutely justified in doing just that. The fact that He chooses to save some is a testament to His love and mercy. The fact that He chooses not to save all is a testament to His sovereignty.
