I have been told that Calvinists do not believe in an omnibenevolent god. I'd agree that their god is an ass but why worship him? Seriously, what is the point?

...

Children starve to death in the world whether one is a Calvinist or a Catholic, so I fail to see how the matter of Calvinism versus Catholicism has any bearing on the goodness or lack of goodness of God. No matter what extra stuff one adds on, once one believes in an omnipotent, omniscient being, it must be an ass or the world would not be as it is. So your question is applicable to all religions that claim the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient being.

(I believe, though, that the point would be to avoid hell and get into heaven.)

"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
