Playing Into The Hands Of Atheists

Calvin’s God plays into the hands of atheists who justly charge that an all-powerful ‘God’ who causes men to sin and then condemns them for doing so is a monster. Will Durant was not a Christian, but one must take his complaint about Calvin seriously: “…we will agree that even error lives because it serves some vital need. But we shall always find it hard to love the man who darkened the human soul with most absurd and blasphemous conception of God in all the long and honored history of nonsense.”
