Rachel Held Evans:

Perhaps in reaction to the "scandal of the evangelical mind," evangelicalism of late has developed a general distrust of emotion when it comes to theology.  So long as an idea seems logical, so long as it fits consistently with the favored theological paradigm, it seems to matter not whether it is morally reprehensible at an intuitive level.  I suspect this is why the new breed of rigid Calvinism that follows the "five points" to their most logical conclusion, without regard to the moral implications of them, has flourished in the past twenty years.
