Gross fallacy there. The discarding of some of these "old-established customs" of the Catholic Church had nothing to do with lack of compassion and everything to do with throwing off some of the traditions of men.

And I'm sorry, you cannot read some of the magnificent works of the Puritans and then argue that Calvinists believe God "[does] not want to be celebrated, or even to be loved, but only to be feared."

The easiest, and most common, way to dismiss Calvinist doctrine is the naked ad hominem argument against Calvin himself. The Servetus Card is played early and often...

Consider the “Servetus Card” officially stolen!

That is great.

heh heh.. love the card. Almost as much as Gamecock’s bobble-head Calvin.. :)

And why shouldn't it be. It alone shows what Calvin really was; a cruel, murderous theocrat.
