What is political Calvinism?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformed_Christianity#Predestination
Basically saying that if you voted wrong you are eternally damned for it. That's how I parsed it at least.
I still fail to see how this has to do with Calvinism. Liberals aren’t accusing conservatives of having some inherent essential characteristic of “sinfulness.” Well maybe they are, but they’re criticizing them based on political beliefs and actions. Which is what we do all the time
I thought election was based on nothing and there was no real way to tell if you were saved?
Ah yeah I was gonna say that sounds more like some weird American prosperity theology. Which idk I associate more with Pentecostalism? Or related movements
Okay I’ll have to go over that. I do know Weber and the Protestant work ethic, though I’ve never read it.
