    Max Weber's idea of the Protestant work ethic is not why people on tbe Internet use calvinism as a byword for bad actually.

    To be fair Calvin basically is at fault for the turn to material goods by American protestantism

    I just think all these theological arguments are stupid - whether it's Dawkins blaming everything on nebulous 'religion', or people blaming the middle east on shia/sunni tensions, or the supposed incompatibility of Judaism and Islam, or blaming America on 'Calvinism'. They are dumb explanations.

    It reeks of "Christianity was awesome until Paul/Augustine/Constantine the Great/Leo IX/Martin Luther/John Calvin ruined Christianity forever."
