John Calvin's 500th - so?

I don't really celebrate the birthday of famous figures of history, who ever does? You celebrate famous dates, maybe. But famous birthdays? Nah.

Did the church celebrate John Calvin's 200th? His 300th? His 400th? Doubt it. Let's celebrate the 500th anniversary of his arrival in Geneva or something. But his birthday?

"Stupid" (said in a Phillip Jensen voice).

To celebrate his birth we just had a lolly-bound afternoon tea in my intensive theology course. Someone made a cake with Happy 500 Calvin. We sang Happy Birthday.

If you want to read about John Calvin from the Jewish perspective and his assault against the true messiah of Israel Marcus Julius Agrippa read Stephan Huller's blog entry at http://www.stephanhuller.blogspot.com entitled 'the Day of John Calvin the accursed, may his bones be ground into dust.' It will help round your opinion of this accursed man.

May his bones truly be ground into dust.
