"One of the rewards of the ‘saved’ would be watching the ‘unsaved’ gnash their teeth in hell for eternity." -- I call that a "Calvinist schadenfreude." Pretty sick, when you really think about it.

It should also be noted that Calvinism is a key driving force in today's Christian Nationalism. If one wonders how they seem to be so obsessed with inflicting cruelty upon their "enemies" it is rooted in the same mentality. Whether in this life or in the next they delight in the miseries and sufferings of the "reprobates." 🤮

Willow, excellent points. Just a couple days ago I listened to an interview with Rob Reiner about his new documentary, God and Country. It is all about the Christian Nationalism movement that is on the upsurge just now. Even mainstream evangelical leaders are sounding the alarm. Also, punishing the "reprobates" is certainly the foundation of our failed criminal "justice" system. Thanks for reading and sharing.
