Are post-moderns given to avoiding right/wrong judgements and how does that set with a rise in Calvinism

The title springs from a question posed to me about an assumption I made concerning Post-modern thinkers. The assumption I made was meant to indicate they seem to live in a world of gray areas, which I, rigntly or wrongly, labeled universalism. So maybe a course in philosophy should be undertaken to define these systems of thought so that we all are talking the same dialect.

Well I will have to do some background research first...

After some thought rather than research into definitions I have deceided that Post moderns are probably drawn to Calvinism because of the popular notion that Calvin did not seem to allow for free will, but rather to the thought that because 'an all powerful God' then nothing happens except God will it, and this is the explanation for the way things are is that they are what they are and cannot help themselves. It rally has little to do with right or wrongness. What could be wrong if it is as it was meant to be?

to be continued.
