About This Quote
Calvin is no kind and loving god! He's one of the old gods! He demands sacrifice! Calvin was a man who had an extreme understanding of the Bible and would not tolerate anyone who did not follow his teachings. This quote describes how Calvin’s idea of “love” is like that of the old gods, such as Zeus and Odin. “Sacrifice” in this context refers to the idea that one must be willing to give up their own life in order to serve the needs of others.
