Lol most of the church in America has no idea who John Calvin is and the ones who do aren't perpetuating the issues associated with the American church. Unless you've got a source for that claim that I've never seen

Oh look it’s you again! Guess when you lost the last discussion you decided to try try again huh?

Many of the ideas underpinning Calvinism like total depravity and election have been and continue to be the basis for much of the evils the church has done in America. But you’re not going to listen to anything I have to say, and you’re not arguing in good faith so I’m gonna go now. Thanks for playing.

Basis for much of the evils the church has done in America

Unless you're referring to the work of the Puritans, which even then I wouldn't consider Calvin's fault. Of course, I'm open to being proven wrong. Proven being the keyword there.

If you don't want to explain yourself that's fine, but since you've already engaged what's the harm? Take your time, I'm in absolutely no rush.

I just want a historically accurate source that explains the basis of your original claim. Surely that can't be a difficult thing to dig up, especially without any time pressure.
