      You know sometimes I read about old Christian “heresies” that got violently suppressed and I think “man these people didn’t deserve that” and then I read about the shit John Calvin believed and part of me thinks “okay yeah I get it now”.

          Very true. They often challenged the authority of the priestly class, private property, martial culture, and in some cases even patriarchy.

          Not surprising why they were ruthlessly suppressed.
