    Okay, that makes sense. If you’re a sicko.

    I knew about Calvinism’s elect, but I didn’t know about the reasoning or justification. I didn’t know about the glorifying part, so original post makes a bit more sense now.

    If you ever want to elaborate more on this feel free. I’m all ears. It’s actually fascinating because it’s so deranged lol!

    I also am curious about a historical material lens of Calvinism (the reformation and the rise of the bourgeoise, kings challenging the authority of the Pope and yadda yadda). I don’t know any of it in full detail, just some hints and broad strokes.

      I have had an interest in making a collection of essays that takes white Evangelical Christianity and dissects it with a Marxist / dialectical materialist lens for a while now. But that’s like, a multi-year project. But if I ever get around to it I’ll be sure to share it here.
