The meme is about John Calvin, who founded Calvinism. Essentially Calvinism is the idea that if God is all knowing, then God already knows who is going to heaven and who is going to hell. God is nice to the people going to heaven, so people who are wealthy and healthy are so because they are good and going to heaven. If you are poor or had an accident, it is because God is smiting you because you are bad.
Essentially this is the root of American puritanism. In my experience of being a mentally ill person, having the thought "you have a mental illness because you are a bad person" isn't helpful but damn it's pervasive.
The common idiots interpretation of Calvinism and actual theology are extraordinarily different.
Calvin literally warned against that prosperity is not instrisically a sign of being a member of the elect.
If a guy that's been dead for almost 500 years is your biggest problem, your life must've been pretty neat so far.
C'mon this attitude belongs on Reddit.
It's a meme. Why would you choose nasty?
