There still is no answer for why, in Calvinism, God chooses you to love and hates your brother. And as you may guess, this view of God reinforces my comparison of Stockholm Syndrome: ...I think I addressed this earlier on this thread, but I can't remember. In any event, any comparison to Stockholm Syndrome is misplaced. In Stockholm Syndrome, the bad guys kidnap the good guys and turn them into bad guys. In Calvinism, the Good guys kidnap the bad guys and turn them into good guys. It is the exact opposite.

The analogy is the kidnappers let some of the hostages go, kill the others, and those freed extol their virtues.
