Quotes from John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion:

John Calvin's theology exhibited the man's psychopathy. By his own words, John Calvin expressed the belief that his god is the author of sin:

Nor ought it to seem absurd when I say, that God not only foresaw the fall of the first man, and in him the ruin of his posterity; but also at his own pleasure arranged it. Book 3, Ch 3

..it is very wicked merely to investigate the causes of God's will. for his will is, and rightly ought to be, the cause of all things that are. Book 3, Ch 23

But since he foresees future events only by reason of the fact that he decreed that they take place, they vainly raise a quarrel over foreknowledge, when it is clear that all things take place rather by his determination and bidding. Book 3, Ch 23

Man falls according as God's providence ordains, but he falls by his own fault. Book 3, Ch 23

Calvin expressed the belief that his god wants people to go to hell:

Therefore, those whom God passes over, he condemns; and this he does for no other reason than that he wills to exclude them from the inheritance which he predestines for his own children. Book 3, Ch 23

One particular NYC pastor adds this nice word:

Abortion is a HORRIBLE crime. [True so far - but now wait for what comes next] In aborting a child, you not only commit murder, but you automatically send a soul to eternal hell.

Consistent calvinists believe that babies go to hell because they inherited the guilt of so-called original sin.

It is obvious that John Calvin and his followers fall outside Christianity. Calvin did not worship the God of the New Testament, Who is love. If Calvin had known Jesus Christ, he would not have preached such satanic nonsense.
