Since Europe was so poor, brutal, barbaric, filthy, dirty, unhealthy, everybody had mistresses, there were orphans and abandoned children everywhere then John Calvin ( Jean Cauvin ) deserves pardon for killing renaissance man Michael Servetus and for being such a Despot and Tyrant in Geneva, Switzerland.
I find it very weird that such a prominent theologian among important American pastors defends Calvin.
Great Austrian writer Stefan Zweig was not so forgiving, he wrote "The Right to Heresy: Castellio against Calvin" to show the scoundrel and bastard in the Reformer who wrote the "Institutes"...
Read here the defense of John Calvin by John Piper, there is no sympathy on my part for Calvinism, predestination that favors the Rich and Powerful, Puritanism and tyrants like Oliver Cromwell, etc ....
If you think that this is not political then read the exit polls of November 2012 and see how people voted against Obama according to what they pastors told them.
And see how Mitt Romney tried to present Obama as a Godless guy that wanted to lead America along the path of Atheism.
Plutocrats find that Calvinism is very useful for them !
