Are there any good books that lay out the beliefs of John Calvin?

Just read Calvin.

Don't do fun things you like and stop other people from doing fun things they like.
Follow these two simple rules and you're 90% there.

You don't need to into that piece of shit.
To be a Calvinist is to,
a)Admit that God treats his creation as his toys
b)Beats his own son up all because he is angry at his toys whom he controlled to rebel against him in the first place
c)To admit that you are not a person(persons are autonomous not a puppet)
d)Admit that you are nothing more than a puppet
e)That everything bad and any douche that did shit to you is nothing more than God even your own actions
f)To be a coward and not take responsibility for your actions
Read the books by Calvin

It's basically out right declares human beings as mere automata . Just as Harris would
It's weird that out of the countries that adopted Protestantism; the two main countries couldn't be more contrastred. One the hand you have Scotland, grim, dour, life's shit so lets drink. One the other hand you get Holland, 4/20 blaze it the country. Obviously these are stereotypes, but the Historical Kingdom of Scotland and the Dutch Republic are very contrasted aswel.
And then there's Sef Efrika

As a Church of Scotland Calvinist, yes life is shit so lets drink.

Maybe 200 years ago but at this point they have a Catholic majority.
Catholicism is about enjoying earthly pleasures while Calvinism is constant depresion and super strict self control. Lutheranism is somewhere in the middle.

Sam Harris.
Both Calvin and Harris deny free will.
You don't. Choose Catholicism instead, our faith is supported by facts (e.g. miracles).

Proofs?
I rather be Muslim than be a Calvinist.
That's how much I hate it
>>366259
You don't. Calvinism means everything you do you've been predestined to do and god controls you. So if you murder people it's god's fault not yours.
