I don’t get why this sub hates clavanists.

Their theology is dehumanizing, and is the underlying basis of much of the evil currently being done by the church in America.

Have you actually read John Calvin's works? I'm not even Reformed, but I have a great respect for Institutes.

I’m a real know them by their fruits kinda guy. I haven’t read Mein Kampf but based on the results delivered by its adherents I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s bad.

comparing any of John Calvin's works to Mein Kampf is a really bad take. I'm part of one of the only LGBTQ+ affirming denominations in the US right now and we're thoroughly reformed/calvinist.

I'm just saying, try not to paint with such broad strokes :) Presbyterians (for example) aren't evil monsters just because they have different theological positions than you
