“This is an intentionally negative piece written about John Calvin that doesn’t place him in the context of his times.”

It is factual. How are facts “negative”?

Why, I heard about this guy once, a real body-builder type, and he took a big bone, and MURDERED a THOUSAND people, by clubbing them to death, just because they were of a different religion.

He should be locked up, tried and executed don’t you think?

If so, than you’d just executed one of the Bible’s great heroes and liberators, that is one of the great Judges of Israel, Samson. (Judges 14-16)

Context often does make all the difference.
