I’ll be glad to work with you, Jon, but I’m not sure what page of the hymnbook you’re on.? Or which book you’re singing from.
Fatalism is more connected with the hyper-Calvinist viewpoint, as a distortion of the doctrine of God’s sovereignty. The best explanation I know is in Iain Murray’s Spurgeon v. Hyper-Calvinism, which is a highly regrettable title (sounding like “Cage Match At The Metropolitan Tabernacle! This Sunday Only!”) to this excellent sequel for his earlier biography, The Forgotten Spurgeon.
The?latter,?btw, refers to the sometimes ignored fact that Charles Spurgeon, one of the most influential evangelists of the 19th century, was an unapologetic Calvinist and said so from the pulpit.? Either book is a good introduction both to the life of Spurgeon and the core of Calvinistic doctrine.
Politically speaking, though, I’d have to agree … I think. Since you don’t refer to the unsuccessful aviator Icarus but his more cautious (conservative?) and therefore successful father Daedalus, I presume you mean that the GOP is risking the loss of popular support by attempting to compromise the mandated agenda.? Or did I misread that allusion?
