They would live in a theocracy. People became "equal." Everyone had sins and you could only hope that you were chosen to go to Heaven. https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/156835292 2017-02-28 19:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/156835292 the followers of this religion had more power than other catholic branches because the formed a sort of government and had many rules that they were forced to abide by or else they could be excommunicated, imprisoned or banished https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157107540 2017-03-01 17:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157107540 https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157107588 Calvinism had strict morals which in turn could have led to less crime in Geneva. They believed in predestination, and overall, Calvinism was a more personal religion where people could interpret scripture for themselves. Calvinism was also more organized and had a hierarchy which created order for the calvinist.

Then, followers wouldn't have to blame themselves or their actions for not going to heaven, since it was a predetermined thing. Also, those who believed there should be a connection between the church and the state would like Calvin's support for a theocracy. It also represented people having a closer relationship to God.]]> 2017-03-01 17:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157107705 Calvin thought that people should enjoy God's gifs rather than worry about salvation. He also thought that city leaders should be religious leaders as well, so he established a self-governing city with strict rules and decreased crime. https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157107870 2017-03-01 17:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157107870 Followers had more control over the church. Therefore the church was less likely to become corrupt with power. It was more personal than the Catholic church. Salvation was already chosen it didn't matter what you did in life god already chose if you were going to heaven or not. https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157107916 2017-03-01 17:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157107916 https://padlet.com/karnold4/1tt7zntwwvc1/wish/157108111 People turned to Calvinism because it allowed people to have more power in the church.
