Prädeterminismus für Calvinisten - blöde Sache.

Calvin—Institutes, section on self-denial, not the bit people usually quote—says the pious man’s entire permitted self-interest is striving for others’ edification. The larger context: seek the neighbor’s good, exhibit kindness, give alms, be long-suffering. This is his reading of 1 Corinthians 13. One notices that “edification of the church” gets invoked for a remarkable range of activities, several of which Calvin would not have recognised as self-denial by any definition.

Yeah, this tracks. Kinda disappointed I got "0" on Lewis -- I think there were several times my second option would have boosted the #CSLewis-quotient (or #Aquinas for that matter), but I'll take #Luther and #Calvin on top. What's your result? https://whichtheologianareyou.netlify.app

Ashbel Green was chaplain of the US House. Writing on the mammon of unrighteousness, he says many in his land worship this god, are cruel to the poor, deprive their own families.
He’s decrying sin and idolatry, which have SJ implications. Is this a necessary consequence of the Westminster Cat? Anything like this today?
How can you avoid the mammon of unrighteousness?

#WTF ?
#Crypto #entrepreneur proposes 450-foot #Prometheus statue on #Alcatraz
#Calvin has described the figure as a “titan of innovative progress” and a “monument to American manifest destiny” that celebrates the liberating forces of #technology and #entrepreneurship.
“Standing taller than the Statue of #Liberty, our monument inaugurates a new golden age, revering creativity and the heroic nature of man,” Calvin wrote on the foundation’s website.

Priest Is Defrocked After Mimicking Elon Musk’s Nazi-Like Salute at Anti-Abortion Rally
It seems Saturday’s National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, D.C.
—where Vice President JD Vance told the women of America to get pregnant right now
—was even more wretched than we thought.#Calvin #Robinson, who used to be a priest at an Anglican Catholic Church parish in Michigan, also spoke on Saturday.
Earlier this week, Robinson,
a prominent far-right commentator who moved from the U.K. in 2024,
posted a short clip of himself delivering his closing remarks at the anti-abortion rally
-- by imitating Elon Musk’s Inauguration Day salute, which very obviously resembles a Nazi salute.The clip went viral after Right Wing Watch reposted it,
and widespread public outrage on Wednesday prompted the church to remove Robinson’s license.

I fjor kom Bill Watterson ut med sitt første verk siden han ble ferdig med #Calvin&Hobbes. I dag morges fikk jeg endelig lest den.
"The Mysteries", lagd sammen med illustratøren John Kascht, er i formatet en barnebok: Lite tekst og mye bilde, enkel fortelling med ganske tydelig budskap.
Er den for barn? Nei. Denne er nok mer retta mot de som er gamle nok til å ha ansvar for situasjonen Watterson & Kascht beskriver i fabelform.
Dyster lesning på en mandags morra, men anbefales.

Stephen Wolfe grew up in Napa, California,
and his father was an admirer of the right-wing pundit and erstwhile GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.After attending West Point and serving in the Army, Wolfe earned advanced degrees before leaving academia to
“do the Wendell Berry thing”
in North Carolina with his wife and four kids.Over the summer, Wolfe, 41, agreed to speak with me on the condition that I refer to him as “Dr. Wolfe”
and call him an “expert on Christian nationalism.”The Dr. Wolfe I spoke with was a more muted version of the firebrand I’d watched online.
He said his ideal version of America would be led by a Caesar figure.
Gay marriage would be strictly prohibited.
Women would not be allowed to vote
—instead, men would vote for their households.When I brought up the bit from his book about heretics being killed, he grew annoyed.
“I do think it’s permissible, in principle, for a state to suppress theological heresy,
but that doesn’t mean that it’s prudent or proper,
suitable in every circumstance or every tradition or way of life.”The Founding Fathers, he added, had encouraged religious liberty,
so killing heretics would not be appropriate in the United States that we inhabit.We turned to remarks he had made at a recent conference convened by Brian Sauvé:
“I think we need to reflect on this idea of Judeo-Christianity,
or Judeo-Christian worldview,
or Judeo-Christian whatever,
and really eradicate that from our thinking.Because if we say that America is a
Judeo-Christian country,
then it can’t be a Christian country, okay?”What role, I asked him, would Jews play?
After a deep sigh, he told me that they would be allowed to “exercise their religion freely.”
We spoke a week before Vance’s RNC speech,
and Wolfe’s remarks helped me understand what the TheoBros heard in Vance’s phrase about
"America as a people".The founders, Wolfe noted, intended for their country to be “Anglo-Protestant with an American inflection.”
America, he continued, is “a place of settlement and rootedness,
but it’s an open ethnicity in which people can become one of us.”Which is to say that, like some others, Wolfe is not necessarily opposed to the idea of nonwhite people in America
—as long as they agree to assimilate to the Anglo-Protestant dominant culture.In this telling, America is not a pluralistic society at all,
but rather one in which there exists an uneasy truce between Christians and those they reluctantly tolerate.Toward the end of our conversation, I asked Wolfe what motivated him.
“I want Christians to be more assertive and to recognize the Christian heritage of the American way of life,
and to seek to restore that,” he said.“This is a Christian country, and we’ve got to work to restore it to what it once was"
In his keynote address at Sauvé’s conference, titled “Why Multicultural Pluralism Fails and What to Build Instead,”
Wolfe called the concept of America as a melting pot
“an early 20th-century idea cooked up by a Jew in New York who despised the confident Anglo-Protestant establishment.”WASPs were the “distinct ethnicity” of America, he insisted,
and America should only welcome those who aspired to assimilate.
As he put it, “This is our homeland, and we welcome you on the condition of conformity.”
Or, in the words of JD Vance, America “is a group of people.”

William Wolfe served in the Trump administration
both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense
and as director of House affairs at the Department of State.He is also an alumnus of #Heritage #Action,
a sister organization of the Heritage Foundation,
the arch-conservative think tank behind Project 2025,
whose chief architect, Russell Vought, posted on X that he was “proud to work with @William_E_Wolfe on scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.”A few months later, the Bucks County Beacon uncovered a lengthy online manifesto on the goals of Christian nationalists.
The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors
and Oklahoma Sen. #Dusty #Deevers as a co-author,
called for “civil magistrates” to usher in 💥“the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals.
As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses,
including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.”The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”
Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage.
There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says.“If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”
William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media,
but in mainstream conservative outlets,
it was #Stephen #Wolfe
(no relation to William)
who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world.In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative,
Wolfe paints America as a “#gynocracy” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders.
(Sound familiar?)He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.”
