John Calvin, the French
Protestant Reformer , some claim he was a tyrant when he ruled
Geneva. I'm Not sure what to
think about Calvin or
Calvinism

I found this article about
Calvin, https://www.challies.com/articles/the-servetus-problem/

Plus from online articles it says
About the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes" and the connection to John Calvin
"While seemingly simple, the comic often depicts and explains complex topics. Even the names of the titular characters draw upon philosophy; Calvin is named after the Swiss Protestant Reformer, John Calvin, and Hobbes is named after the political philosopher Thomas Hobbes."

Good for you.

The above article is about Calvin's role in executing Servetus, who was a heretic. It seems to me the author is trying to have it both ways. He says Calvin's actions were a product of the times, executions were the normal way of dealing with heretics, and even God approved of wholesale destruction in the Old Testament. But a few paragraphs later, he approves of a monument that says Calvin made an error and that it's something that should be atoned for; also that his actions showed that he was not perfect. So which is it?

I think he blows a lot of his credibility when he says about the Old Testament destruction, "Surely this would seem atrocious to modern readers, and surely God would no longer command it today, yet at the time it happened it was common practice. The times change." So God's morals depend on the times? If man created God in his image, this actually makes perfect sense.

Let's have Hobbes weigh in on this.
