Calvin then followed his own advice, establishing a community where he told everyone exactly what god wanted them to do. -A Pony

Have you ever read The Institutes of Christian Religion? Pretty fascist, actually, no allowances made for freedom of conscience. John Calvin was a seriously nasty piece of work - he once cut a teenagers head off because he was rude to his parents, citing the Commandment "Thou shalt honour thy father and mother" as justification. He also burned heretics (aka people he disagreed with) at the stake for daring to say he wasn't right. And the ironic reason for much of this burning, which was predominantly Roman Catholics, was that they believed the Pope was infallible. As a Catholic friend of mine once put it "We have one infallible church leader, you have dozens". But in Calvins day, basically, he was the infallible one, although he blamed the Bible. Ada-B
