Calvinism and vice (WAS MDMD(3)--Just a thought)

[David Casseres]

Doug Millison sez

>from The Embarrassment of Riches:  An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in
>the Golden Age, by Simon Schama, p. 467-468 (UC Berkeley Press paperback
>edition)

[too long to re-quote, but a hair-raising account of Calvinism at its 
most soul-killing peak of intensity]

No wonder Dutchmen fled to the ends of the Earth to exterminate dodoes, 
eat "Malay" food, fuck their brains out on the bodies of slaves, etc.


Cheers,
David
