Re: Momus' Calvinist Essence

"You aren't a Calvinist at all. A Catholic, rather. In every aspect your life differs from that of the Calvinists... You are a hedonist."

But I'd say it's a little more complicated than an online quiz score can describe. I'd say I'm a post-Calvinist -- in other words, all the things I am are defined by Calvinism, but negatively. A flipped mirror image, trying desperately not to be the thing that, ironically, defines him even in defiance. A man saying "No!" to the big "No!", and therefore saying "Yes!" to it, in a way. An arrow pointing out of frame, but still framed. A playa reading Pat Kane's The Play Ethic, congratulating himself -- prematurely -- on being free of the Work Ethic.
