Question

Why do u think many people embraced Calvin's rules of conduct? Why would some reject them
Ms. Sue
What were Calvin's rules of conduct?
elina
my book doesn't tell about his rules
elina
um it only says that his government was really strict. and that he had ''blue laws'' which outlawed all sorts of amusements from dancing to card playing
Ms. Sue
Please look back and read the site I recommended about Calvin and Geneva. It has a list of the rules.
elina
are these his rules:
No eating rich foods
No wearing bright colors or jewelry
Church on Sunday
No playing cards
Everyone should be home by 9 pm each evening

Ms. Sue
Yes.

Why would some people agree -- and some disagree -- with these rules?
elina
is this right.. some people would disagree with this rules because they want to have a right, and enjoy eating rich foods and they want to live thir life thier ways. but i don't know why people would agree with his rules
elina
oh wait they would agree with his rules because that makes it fair for everyone?
Ms. Sue
Some agreed with Calvin because the believed that following them was the way to salvation and heaven. For many people of that time, religion was the most important thing in their lives.
elina
oh thank u. now i get it, but was my answer for the diasagreeing people right.
Ms. Sue
Yes. Your answer for the disagreeing people is right.
elina
would this be right that the people disagreed following calvins rules because they wanted to have fun in life and not really be the religious type
Ms. Sue
Right.
elina
thank u
Ms. Sue
They also believed they would go to heaven even if they did these things.
elina
would i describe Geneva governed by Calvin as strictly?
