Well, as Calvinists don't have to be crippled with worry about how we might mess up God's plan, we have time to laugh. Spurgeon, for example, was a hilarious Calvinist. And reading Hanna's biography of Thomas Chalmers reveals he had a wonderful sense of humour.
Yes, in my experiecne Calvinism is set to free you up a bit, although I think there is something in the accusation that it can make people a bit dour. The Spurgeon example cuts both ways - lots of humour there but dark days too.
Apparently it's a very popular Calvinist joke!!!
ReplyDeleteNice to get your comment. I can tell from your pic that like me you clearly never laugh.
