Can You Love America AND Be A Calvinist?

Can You Love America AND Be A Calvinist?

The neat thing about school is that every once and a while you learn something new.

Yesterday, I learned that Thomas Jefferson wasn’t the biggest fan of John Calvin.

Actually, that would be an understatement.

Jeffeson-Calvin Quote

Now, this raises a really important quandary for a lot of patriotic Americans.

You see, if you’re a real American patriot, then you’ve gotta love Jefferson. And if you’re a Calvinist, you’ve gotta love Calvin.

But if you love Jefferson, then you love the guy that hated the guy you’re supposed to love.

Love your enemies I guess?

But, wait, that makes Thomas Jefferson your enemy!! How can you call yourself a patriot if Jefferson is your enemy??

Wow.

I didn’t realize how much you Calvinists hate America.

I’m gonna pray for you guys.
