(as you know) I was raised in a borderline cult environment with professionally evangelist parents, homeschooled, limited access to media, taught 6k y/o earth, explicitly expected to be a housewife who homeschooled her own children in the ways of the Lord. 1/

You may be able to enlighten me on this then. I know the gist of Calvinism, and I don't think it's an unreasonable reading of the Bible, but I don't understand why someone would be a Calvinist. If salvation is unconditional and predetermined, why bother?

Get ready for this mind fuck: if you are predestined to be saved, then you will "naturally want" to do good things and please the Lord. So - you don't have to do anything to be saved, but if you're not trying to be good then you're probably not saved.
