The absurdity and complete waste of time of these exercises is that Calvin did not even invent the doctrine that has his name, but was given to us by Luther, and shared by all the reformers. And even Luther did not invent it, but it was held by many before, including Augustine from the 4th century. And even Augustine did not invent it, but it is the Apostles and Jesus Christ who gave it.
You will have to make them all guilty of one thing or another, if you want us to abandon the Gospel. Now, as for Calvin and his alleged mass murdering, I do not shed any tears of Servetus, and anti-Trinitarian heretic. And I'll add that this kind of law was the law of the whole world in those days, and I doubt you will be able to demonstrate how Calvin had anything to do with inventing laws against witch craft.

Ah, how right you are. It is all absurdity and a complete wast of time...
