No, thanks.

Just rented a book out on Calvin.
Haven't started it but really Calvinism is just a Protestant faith but with predestination? Seems in line with my actual beliefs.
Can you tell me if they have to do autistic rituals too?

Ok man. Thanks.
I just read it, sounds good. I specially liked the first point.

I have a presentation on Calvinism for sociology class next week so you can point me towards something interesting to focus on, I guess

The Kingdom of God ain't free. It's gotta be watered with the blood of the feudal aristocracy. Müntzer, not Luther and Calvin, ok. Fear God, not Man. Omnia sunt communia

That's the only history book I ever enjoyed. Thomas Münzer was a pretty cool guy, doesn't afraid of anything.

J'ai vu le Mur des Réformateurs quand j'ai visité mon grand-mère en Genève, but otherwise I don't really know anything about him

Not really. Unlike some of the other reformers, Calvin believed in a kind of real presence in the eucharist but only in the sense that the spirit was present, not that it was the real body and blood. Only real "sacraments" in the Reformed church are baptism and communion. Neither are generally considered necessary in salvation.

invisible cities is my favourite but i really like mr palomar and marcovaldo as well
if on a winter's night... seems overrated to me

Not the most appropriate photo. Zizek said (rightly) that Calvinism is Christianity at its purest.

He didn't mean that as a compliment however

I knew I couldn't be the only one here! I've been reading:
- By What Standard (Rushdoony, take it with a grain of salt of course)
-The Shadow of Christ in the Law of Moses (Poythress)
-Summary of Christian doctrine (Berkof)
Any recs, Calvinist or otherwise?

IMO, Calvinism is more about authority than anything else. God controls and is the source of everything from knowledge, creation, salvation etc.
