I was wondering if any of you have noticed correlations between Calvinistic beliefs and other conservative beliefs. I know that there are exceptions, and this may just be the crowd to which I'm most exposed, but it seems that way to me. For instance, the Calvinists I know predominately believe in traditional relationships between men and women:

Singles (friends): hang out in groups to not give a hint of impropriety
Singles (romantically involved): courtship, boundaries in the dating relationship, biblical roles of men and women
Couples (married): biblical roles of men and women

Have any of you noticed the same connections, or other ones? Is it just me?

Yeah, and I think my answer is similar to Keil's. Maybe it's that Calvinists tend to be more knowledgeable and accepting of what Scripture actually says, as opposed to what they'd like it to say, and at least some of those other things are commended to us therein.

PS- Nice pic of the Wylde man.
