Satan sounds good in MOST versions of Christianity. Whereas god usually sounds like a childish asshole.

Yes, but the other versions give the "God is good" line of thinking, and the Calvinists don't even PRETEND to do that...

Eh, sort of.  I've heard some justify it saying that God is good but we are too sinful and evil to understand his ways. 

I read a quote somewhere which said it best

"The primary difference between Calvinists and HP Lovecraft is that the latter admits that the gods he invented are evil, whereas the former do not."

I never understood that. We can not understand him in his mysterious super-being-ness, but the way we interpret the gospels, as put down by other sinners and humans, MUST be 100% accurate.

You could counter, "God is all powerful and ENSURED we were given the true text," but hey, he IS mysterious. Could be trolling us in a loving way you just can't understand...

Oh my...

I have no words.

I just found a Calvinist article that claims CHILDREN AND INFANTS are damned if they die without Jesus.

Having read the page I appalled. As an atheist I can't help but wonder why someone would think infants deserve to be in hell. This kind of beliefs make god out to be an asshole that should be hated, not worshiped. How do they justify this shit? No really, I would love to know.

History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

When they say, “Everyone deserves to go to hell,” they fuckin’ mean it!
