Below is a quote from Will Durant regarding John Calvin:
Fruit of Calvinism

Calvinism encourages ungodliness.

Calvinism says (erroneously):

God ordained me to be the sinful way I am.

The resultant fruit is too often the conclusion:

So why fight against my being the (sinful) way that God ordained me to be?
Spurgeon rejected limited atonement

Charles Haddon Spurgeon emphatically rejected Limited Atonement.

In Spurgeon's own words:

I know there are some who think it necessary to their system of theology to limit the merit of the blood of Jesus: if my theological system needed such limitation, I would cast it to the winds. I cannot, I dare not, allow the thought to find lodging in my mind, it seems so near akin to blasphemy. .... 1

Does anyone love me?

Calvinism tends toward destruction of feeling loved.

Calvinism claims (incorrectly, thank God!) most people to be doomed to damnation from birth with no hope. Fortunately, there really is hope! But - and this is where Calvinism gets this totally wrong - not according to Calvinism. This obviously might lead some who believe this to be true, toward despair. 

For some people who might feel unloved by people, there could be hope that at least God loves them. Calvinism destroys such hope of love. Example: one person upon realizing the implications of Calvinism, cried for 18 hours.
